WASHINGTON - A hacker is advertising millions of 'pieces of data' stolen from the family genetics websites 23andMe, according to posts made to an online forum where digital thieves often advertise leaked data.
23andMe said in a statement that while an unspecified amount of 'customer profile information' has been compiled through access to individual 23andMe.com accounts, the company itself has not been breached.
The hacker did not immediately disclose the size of the breach and provided contradictory figures and a description of what they had stolen.
