Genetic testing company 23andMe has revealed more details about a data breach that occurred in October, but the situation remains unclear and creates uncertainty for users.
Hackers were able to access a small percentage of user accounts, approximately 14,000, but the number doesn't include those impacted by data scraping from the company's social sharing service.
The attackers collected the personal data of about 5.5 million people who opted into DNA Relatives and an additional 1.4 million users who had their Family Tree profile information accessed.
