5 Jun 2025 23andMe, Inc.ICO: £2.31 million against 23andMe after credential stuffing targeting genetic data €2.74m
From April to September 2023, attackers used reused credentials to access data on 155,592 people in the United Kingdom, including ancestry, family trees and health information. There was no MFA, no secure password rules and no effective monitoring; despite anomalies in July 2023, the full investigation only began in October. Joint investigation by the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) with the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.
Companies that manage genetic or health data must protect customer accounts against credential stuffing with MFA and investigate warning signs immediately.
