I bring to your attention a disturbing incident involving Weekday (YC W21), which has recently come to light. Shockingly, Weekday has been found guilty of profiling thousands of candidates without obtaining their consent, resulting in a massive breach of sensitive data.
Even more alarming is the complete disregard shown by Weekday towards the security of this data. Astonishingly, there were no adequate authentication or authorization measures in place, leaving all the valuable personally identifiable information (PII) vulnerable to unauthorized access.

This raises a pertinent question: Does Y Combinator effectively educate its graduates on the proper handling of sensitive customer data? It is crucial that we address these concerns and demand accountability.
Let us come together as a community to shed light on this disconcerting breach and take a stand for data privacy and security.
