The Connecticut attorney general is pressing genetic testing company 23andMe for answers about a data breach that exposed Chinese and Ashkenazi Jewish user info.
A data breach at the genetic testing and ancestry company 23andMe resulted in the black market sale of at least one million data profiles of people with Ashkenazi Jewish heritage and hundreds of thousands of individuals with Chinese ancestry, authorities said Tuesday as they announced an inquiry.
Tong's letter declares the data breach "resulted in the targeted exfiltration and sale on the black market of at least one million data profiles pertaining to individuals with Ashkenazi Jewish heritage," as well as "hundreds of thousands of individuals with Chinese ancestry." 23andMe has not yet submitted a data breach notification to the Office of the Attorney General, which is required under Connecticut's data breach notification law, according to the letter, which also notes the company has 60 days to do so "after discovery of the breach."
