using unique passwords would have prevented this from happening on the user side

but I agree with sensitive data 2fa should be mandatory

I heard one of the users was wearing a very revealing skirt and browsing through a bad neighborhood.

not really understanding your point in both instances the hacker or the attacker is the responsible one not the victim. but the user in 23 and me could use basic password practices to prevent this form of attack.

in the street, there's no clothing that can keep you safe

Some of the users were logging into 23andMe after midnight unaccompanied!
