Hackers have recently advertised stolen data from 23andMe, a popular genetic testing company, raising concerns about the privacy and security of sensitive genetic information. The stolen data includes user profiles and repeat passwords, potentially exposing millions of individuals to identity theft and other risks. The breach, which specifically targeted Ashkenazi Jews, has sparked broader questions about the safety of sharing genetic information on platforms designed like social networks. The incident has led to a lawsuit against 23andMe and an ongoing investigation by the SEC. As the annual data breach record in the US is shattered, experts are emphasizing the importance of data breach response workshops to handle such crises effectively.
