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

In a way, it kind of is their fault for trusting companies like this in the first place. I'd never consider using companies like this and both think and hope none of my family members would either.

Obviously, the breach is the company being incompetent like many companies are when it comes to security.

Unfortunately like you said, family members can do so of their own accord which is exactly what one of mine did, despite my warnings of such.

It's completely impossible for me to "un-ring" that bell now, so to speak.
