Good day. Do you think it’s only your credit-card details, Social Security numbers and home addresses that are being hawked by hackers around the darknet? Your genetic information may be for sale, too.
After its hack in 2023, DNA-testing service 23andMe is proposing that people who had their information pilfered could be given genetic information monitoring as part of a proposed settlement to a lawsuit. CyEx, which has worked on healthcare breaches in the past, is being tasked with developing a system to track this information and alert potential victims.
One problem: Unlike your credit-card number, you can’t change your genetic code. My colleague Angus Loten has the full, fascinating story here.
