We know what’s coming and we are prepared.
🧬 Genetics firm 23andMe confirms user data theft in a credential stuffing attack.
✡️ The hackers released 1 million lines of data targeting Ashkenazi Jews.
23andMe, a renowned U.S. biotech & genomics firm, offers genetic testing services.
A threat actor recently leaked data samples from the firm and is now selling 23andMe customer data packs.
The initial data leak was limited but deeply concerning.
The threat actor released 1 million lines of data specifically for Ashkenazi people.
This targeted attack raises serious questions about the motive behind the breach.
On October 4, the hacker offered to sell data profiles in bulk, ranging from $1-$10 per 23andMe account, depending on the quantity purchased.
23andMe's RESPONSE: The company confirmed the data's legitimacy. They believe the hackers used credentials from other breaches to access 23andMe accounts.
"We do not have any indication at this time that there has been a data security incident within our systems."
The leaked data includes full names, usernames, profile photos, sex, date of birth, genetic ancestry results, and geographical location.
This is a goldmine for identity thieves and malicious actors.
The compromised accounts had opted into the platform's 'DNA Relatives' feature.
The hacker accessed a few 23andMe accounts and scraped the data of their DNA Relative matches, showing the potential risks of such features.
23andMe offers two-factor authentication and urges all users to enable it.
It's a reminder for everyone to refrain from reusing passwords and to always use strong, unique credentials.

16,499 people died by euthanasia in Canada in 2024, accounting for 5.1% of all deaths in the country.
According to the latest report on “medical assistance in dying” (MAiD) from Health Canada released at the end of last month, there was a 6.9% increase in state-assisted deaths in Canada in 2024.
In 2024, although assisted suicide is permitted, in which the person who wishes to end their own life self-administers the lethal substance, there was not a single case of assisted suicide. Instead, every single person who died under Canada’s MAiD programme died by euthanasia. In 2023, there were fewer than five instances of assisted suicide.
There have been a total of 76,475 instances of euthanasia and assisted suicide since they were made legal in Canada in 2016.
Posters have appeared on the New York subway offering would-be parents the opportunity to "genetically optimise" their future baby.
By signing up to their $8,999 service, Nucleus Genomics will profile the full DNA sequence of up to 20 embryos for couples undergoing IVF.
The New York start-up's slick app then allows would-be parents to review their brood for known disease genes, conditions like autism and ADHD, as well as traits like eye colour, height, and intelligence.
Peter Thiel, who shares similar views to Musk on the topic, supported the start-up through his Founders Fund. – Article
OpenAI's Sam Altman has also invested in gene-editing startup, Preventive, to eliminate gene-hereditary diseases from babies.
The first successful IVF (test tube baby) occurred in 1978. The place, perhaps appropriately, considering English author Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, was England.
