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

I mean if you use the same weak password on all websites, even a strong password, it is your fault in a legitimate way. Not your fault for the fact it was leaked or found out or the company having shit security practices, but your fault for not having due diligence given the current state of online security best practices.

Not your fault if you did have a strong password but your data was leaked through the sharing anyways…
