23andMe faced significant scrutiny following a data breach that compromised personal information of millions, raising questions about the safety of users' DNA and personal data.
The breach revealed that about 14,000 accounts were hacked directly, but because of interconnected user networks, millions were indirectly affected, prompting a class-action lawsuit.
After the incident, 23andMe emphasized the importance of security, leading users to reset their passwords and activate multifactor authentication to safeguard their accounts.
With recent board resignations and a high-profile breach, experts suggest this rocky period may signify a decline for 23andMe, challenging its future viability.
