23andMe hackers accessed ancestry information from thousands of customers and their DNA relatives
Briefly

The company says its investigation found hackers were able to access information from 0.1 percent of its userbase, or the accounts of about 14,000 of its 14 million total customers.
On top of that, the attackers were able to exploit 23andMe's opt-in DNA Relatives feature to access 'profile information about other users' ancestry.' 23andMe hasn't said how many of these users were affected.
The company also wrote in the filing that it 'believes that the threat actor activity is contained,' and is working to have the publicly-posted information taken down.
