23andMe, the personal genomics and biotechnology company, has admitted to a significant data breach in which hackers successfully accessed 14,000 customer accounts over a period of five months. The cyberattacks began in April 2023 and continued through September 2023, but the company only became aware of the breach in October 2023. In the aftermath, 23andMe has faced criticism for not detecting the breach sooner and for blaming the users for the compromised accounts.
