Genetics firm 23andMe says user data stolen in credential stuffing attack 23andMe has confirmed to BleepingComputer that it is aware of user data from its platform circulating on hacker forums and attributes the leak to a credential-stuffing attack.

“The initial data leak was… 1 million lines of data for Ashkenazi people.”

“The information… includes full names, usernames, profile photos, sex, date of birth, genetic ancestry results, and geographical location.”

Well, that’s surely not going to be a fucking problem. (sarcastically)

Lise Meitner developed the theory of nuclear fission, the process that enabled the atomic bomb. But her identity — Jewish and a woman — barred her from sharing credit for the discovery, newly translated letters show.
