23andMe Data Breach Investigation

Did You Receive a Notice of Data Breach from 23andMe?

In early October, a data breach involving 23andMe customer profile information came to light. The company’s investigation revealed that a threat actor may have been able to access certain accounts on 23andMe to obtain information about users’ “DNA Relatives” profiles, if they had opted into that service. The investigation also revealed that threat actors were able to access certain accounts in instances where users recycled login credentials from other websites. Approximately a million users’ data may have been exposed, including data points such as names, gender, birth year, and some genetic ancestry results.
