23andMe Data Breach Affects 14,000 Accounts and 'Significant Number' of Ancestry Files

The company has not disclosed the total number of users affected, but has implemented password resets and multi-factor authentication in response.

23andMe, the genetic testing company, confirmed that hackers accessed about 14,000 customer accounts, which is approximately 0.1% of its total userbase.
The hackers also exploited 23andMe’s opt-in DNA Relatives feature to access a 'significant number' of files containing profile information about other users’ ancestry.
The company has not disclosed the exact number of users affected by this breach.
The stolen data generally included ancestry information, and for a subset of those accounts, health-related information based on the user’s genetics.
23andMe has implemented password resets and multi-factor authentication for all users in response to the breach.
