I never used 23 and me but I did use Lemonaid Health a few times several years ago and found out that apparently I too was affected by this hack in the form of an email telling me to reset my password - with no other information.
Apparently 23 and Me bought Lemonaid at some point. And I only ever used Lemonaid to get prescriptions for medications that really shouldn't even need prescriptions but the United States healthcare system is insane.
It's just a comedy of late stage capitalism. And isn't the one privacy law the US does have HIPAA? So shouldn't this run afoul of that somehow?
- faeriechangling 3y ago23andMe is not considered a regulated Health Services Provider and thus is not regulated under HIPAA. I can certainly see that changing now because it is utterly absurd that they are not subject to such regulations.
