23andMe’s Epic DNA Data Debacle: 5-Month Breach Goes Undetected, Sparks Outrage
23andMe didn’t spot hackers for months, only catching on after Reddit tipped them off. With 14,000 accounts and 6.9 million DNA ties exposed, it’s a genetic jackpot for cybercriminals. Now, they’re pushing 2FA, but is it too little, too late? Cue the blame game! #DNAaaahahaha
Hot Take:
Oh, 23andMe, the biotech biz that turned into a "Who's Your Hacker?" game show! They basically said, "Hey, don't look at us—it's the customers who can't keep their passwords straight!" But when the DNA's out of the bag, maybe it's time to stop blaming Aunt Sally for using 'password123' and start looking at why there was no two-factor authentication until after the genetic cat was cloned... I mean, out of the bag.Already a member? Log in here
