23andMe Data Scraping Incident Raises Concerns Over Genetic Privacy
The recent data scraping incident at 23andMe has reignited concerns over the privacy of genetic data stored online. While 23andMe assures that the claims are "unsubstantiated," the fact remains that user data is up for sale. Despite recommendations for strong passwords and two-factor authentication, it's clear that these security measures are not foolproof. This follows a similar incident in 2018 involving MyHeritage, highlighting the ongoing risks of storing sensitive genetic information online.
