I have not seen a single article reporting that there was an actual compromise of 23andMe's security systems. If you have any examples, please share. I have seen articles calling this a "data breach" (TFA calls it that), but it always leads to details saying it was just normal credential stuffing.
- jruohonen 3y agoSure: we can debate what amounts as "a breach to a system". If personal data leaks through credential stuffing, scraping, or whatever, I still call it a breach personally.
- junon 3y agoThat's not a breach IMO. That's improper user security.
- Moldoteck 3y agoyep, should have enabled 2fa by default
- hn_throwaway_99 3y agoThen literally every consumer-facing tech company suffers "data breaches" continually, every day. The distinction isn't just important - without it, the word has no viable meaning.
