In October, a threat actor attempted to sell 23andMe customer data and, after failing to do so, leaked the data for 1 million Ashkenazi Jews and 4.1 million people living in the United Kingdom.
23andMe told BleepingComputer that the data was obtained through credential stuffing attacks to breach customer accounts.
In a recent update, 23andMe told BleepingComputer that a total of 6.9 million people were impacted by the breach - 5.5 million through the DNA Relatives feature and 1.4 million people through the Family Tree feature.
