23andMe Data Breach Alert!
Hackers infiltrated, using recycled login credentials to pilfer 23andMe accounts
23andMe, the bastion of biotech, faced a cunning breach. The fallout? A leak of almost 1 million diverse user profiles, including names, usernames, genetic ancestry details, and more.
Dark Web Deals: These cyber criminals didn’t stop there. They’re currently peddling this stolen genetic trove on dark web forums, pricing each 23andMe account between $1 to $10, based on volume. Your genetic identity? Tagged with a price.
Who’s Impacted? This hit users deeply connected, exploring genetic bonds through 23andMe’s ‘DNA Relatives’ feature.
Take a look at the post currently on the dark web for these accounts to be sold off as nothing more than datasets.
