Biotech company 23andMe first disclosed a data breach affecting a portion of its customers back in October. The information was obtained in a credential stuffing attack. An SEC filing now reveals roughly 14,000 accounts were accessed, along with information on millions of users participating in the DNA Relatives feature.

      Once you turn it over, it is not your data.

    yeah I got that email last week. I did a double take and the email was addressed to my daughter. But no one else in our family. 🤔
