23andMe promise that "protecting your privacy has been our number one priority." But how does that claim stack up in the light of their recent data breach?
That's the question posed by Rob and Stan in the latest episode of Reimagining Cyber.
23andMe provide DNA kits allowing users to obtain "the most comprehensive ancestry breakdown and 30+ trait reports." and the hackers targeted the individual accounts of hundreds of users.
So what does this cybersecurity failure mean for the victims?
What are the wider repurcussions?
Here are just a few of their views on the hack:
"What if a nation state leverages that type of information? They already have plenty of details on individuals through other breaches. This is a much heavier set of data they can take advantage of. They can potentially be much more targeted in some of their blackmailing"
"You said that this wasn't 23andMe's fault but at the same time, they could have done more. They could have by default had two factor authentication. They could also have had privacy checkups that many other social platforms have available."
"They're mapping the data together to make categorized sets of information available at a cost. So very targeted and can be used for many different extortion capabilities. Who knows what else is going to come of it."
