23andMe is "shamelessly" blaming victims of a data breach impacting 6.9 million users, a lawyer representing victims pursuing a class-action lawsuit, Hassan Zavareei, told TechCrunch.

Zavareei shared a letter from 23andMe lawyers that urged users suing to "consider the futility of continuing to pursue an action in this case," because their claims are allegedly meritless and "the information that was potentially accessed cannot be used for any harm."
