The company did not put proper authentication measures in place, with a lack of mandatory multi-factor authentication (MFA) and loose password requirements. 23andMe also didn&#8217;t take any measures to prevent accessing and downloading raw genetic data, and did not have &#8220;effective systems in place to monitor, detect, or respond to cyber threats targeting its customers\u2019 sensitive information.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>John Edwards, the UK Information Commissioner, explains it best:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>23andMe failed to take basic steps to protect this information. Their security systems were inadequate, the warning signs were there, and the company was slow to respond. This left people\u2019s most sensitive data vulnerable to exploitation and harm.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>23andMe&#8217;s lax attitude in admitting to the breach was also pointed out. The breach first began in April 2023 and lasted until May 2023. However, the company did not confirm the breach and start a full investigation until October 2023, when an employee spotted the stolen data being advertised for sale on Reddit.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"data-protection-begins-with-you\">\n                        Data Protection Begins With You<br \/>\n               <\/h2>\n<p>Unlike passwords and other information that often gets leaked in such data breaches, you can&#8217;t simply change your genetic data.
