@AT1ST @dplattsf @pjohanneson @thomasfuchs It’s overblown. On the site I can see lots of DNA relatives and a very tiny bit about them, for those relatives who opted in to letting strangers like me see them appear in that list. If one of my unknown relatives reused passwords, then someone who I don’t know could use the credentials of the relative I don’t know to see a little bit about me.
Don’t reuse passwords.
@hunterhacker @dplattsf @pjohanneson @thomasfuchs Here's the thing - the information a relative can learn about another relative, to a stranger, is pretty powerful stuff.
Could I, hypothetically, learn your mother's maiden name by logging is as one of your DNA relatives, or a stranger's account that was credential stuffed and could see that relative?
