Hope this isn't a repeated submission. Funny how they're trying to deflect blame after they tried to change the EULA post breach.

afaik there was no breach of private data, only the kind of data shared to find relatives, which is opt-in and obviously not private to anyone who has seen how this service works. In other words, the only data "leaked" was the kind of data that was already shared with other 23andMe users.
