- User data from 23andMe accounts has been leaked and put up for sale on a dark web forum.
- Hackers likely gathered the data with leaked customer credentials for other platforms and services.
- A 23andMe spokesperson said there's no indication there was data security in its systems.
Hackers claiming to have access to the names, photos, birth details, and ethnicities of potentially millions of 23andMe customers are peddling the information on the dark web for thousands of dollars.
The data appears to have been gathered from user credentials that were exposed in prior data breaches, and the company's security systems have not been breached, according to 23andMe.
