🧬 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.

🇺🇸🛢 The U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve has fallen to 283.8M barrels, its lowest level since October 1982.
A year ago, September 2025, the SPR held 406 million barrels.
The current drawdown traces back to a 172 million-barrel release President Trump authorized in March, part of a coordinated 400 million-barrel release by 32 IEA member countries. Discharge began about a week later and was expected to take roughly 120 days, with the administration pledging to refill about 200 million barrels within a year at no cost to taxpayers.
Two different floors govern how far the reserve can fall. Federal law sets an operational minimum of 252.4 million barrels, while the generally accepted operational minimum is 250 to 300 million barrels on hand to pump and process oil efficiently, a level it is now testing.
Ben Cahill, an energy analyst at the Atlantic Council, has warned the releases carry diminishing returns: "at a certain point it becomes a self-defeating move, because releasing more...
