Episode Details
Welcome to the #CyberChats Summer 2025 Series!
What happens when your DNA gets hacked? In this crossover episode of #CyberChats and Cyber Pulse, we dive into the 2023 cyberattack on 23andMe — one of the biggest genetic data breaches ever.
We break down how it happened (spoiler: reused passwords), why it matters (even if you never signed up), and how your DNA could still be out there... years later.
Plus: We unpack the $30 million lawsuit, the company’s bankruptcy, and how to protect your data now.
