Users passwords were leaked in other breaches. 23andme could have forced everyone to setup new passwords but that is not usual practice, is it?

    Even if, most of them aren't logging in periodically enough and it's not their fault or responsibility to check for other companies breaches, otherwise you'd have to do that on a (basically) daily basis.

    Don't use the same password everywhere.
