Hackers advertise sale of 23andMe data on leaked data forum
A hacker is advertising millions of "pieces of data" stolen from the family genetics websites 23andMe, according to posts made to an online forum where digital thieves often advertise leaked data. 23andMe said in a statement Friday that while an unspecified amount of "customer profile information" had been compiled "through access to individual 23andMe.com accounts," the company itself had not been breached. "We do not have any indication at this time that there has been a data security incident within our systems," the statement said.
