"23andMe Faces Another Data Breach as User Records Leak Again"

Millions of 23andMe users have had their information leaked once again after a recent hack, with records of over four million people being published on the dark web. The hacker, known as "Golem," targeted users of Ashkenazi Jewish and Chinese descent in the previous breach, including high-profile individuals such as Elon Musk, Sergey Brin, and Mark Zuckerberg. This time, the hacker claims to have targeted users with British ancestry, including data from wealthy individuals in the US and Western Europe. 23andMe is currently reviewing the data breach and will notify affected customers if their data has been accessed without authorization. Lawsuits have been filed against the company, alleging inadequate digital safeguards and an increased risk of fraud and identity theft for customers.
