"Dark Web Sale: 23andMe User Data Exposed and Sold"

TL;DR Summary
Hackers have reportedly obtained user data from 23andMe accounts and are selling it on dark web forums. The data, which includes names, photos, birth details, and ethnicities, appears to have been gathered from leaked user credentials from other platforms. 23andMe has stated that their security systems have not been breached, and the company believes the hackers used a technique called "credential stuffing" to gain access. The number of compromised accounts is still unknown, but the company believes it to be smaller than initially feared. 23andMe is urging users to enable multi-factor authentication to enhance security.
