The hacker 'Golem' allegedly strikes a second time, this time with more users affected as 23andMe scrambles to address the last breach.
Millions of 23andMe users had their info leaked once again after being hacked earlier this month, according to a report by TechCrunch Thursday. The hacker, who goes by the name “Golem” on multiple dark web forums, published user information containing records of over four million people on Tuesday. “We are aware that the threat actor involved in this investigation posted what they claim to be additional customer DNA Relative profile information,” said a 23andMe spokesperson via email.
“We are currently reviewing the data to determine if it is legitimate. Our investigation is ongoing and if we learn that a customer’s data has been accessed without their authorization, we will notify them directly with more information,” said 23andMe. Lawsuits surrounding the previous data breach alleged that 23andMe had inadequate digital safeguards, and have placed customers at an elevated risk of fraud and identity theft.
