A state attorney general is questioning what really happened when a leading genetic testing company had a data breach last month.
As 23andMe continues to investigate a data breach within its customers' accounts, a state politician is pressing the genetic testing company about what exactly was exposed in the leak and what the hackers wanted out of it.
"The increased frequency of antisemitic and anti-Asian rhetoric and violence in recent years means that this may be a particularly dangerous time for such targeted genetic information to be released to the public," Tong said in a statement. The company said it believes this occurred due to the use of"recycled login credentials," meaning hackers would already know a user's 23andMe username and password if they had already used the credentials on a site that had been previously hacked.
