    People should have woken up to password security being their responsibility after story after story on how bad actors will own your email account, wait for a large e-transfer to appear in your inbox, then steal it by using the same email password on your bank’s site. It was an unavoidable story at least in Canada.

    Having said that, is there not an onus on 23 to detect someone scraping millions of profiles from a feature ostensibly for looking at a few close relatives? Surely looking at 492 “relatives” on one account in quick succession isn’t normal behaviour.

    I’m just glad I didn’t end up ordering a kit when they were being hyped massively.
