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

As I said elsewhere, the company implemented this feature and apparently did not do absolutely jack about the increased risk of account compromise deriving from it. If I would sit in a meeting discussing this feature I would immediately say that accounts which share data with others are way too sensitive and at least these should have 2fa enforced. If you don't want it, you don't share data. Probably the company does not have a good security culture and this was not done.
