Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:41:38 GMT

By Kristen V. Brown | BloombergSome 6.9 million 23andMe customers had their data compromised after an anonymous hacker accessed user profiles and posted them for sale on the internet earlier this year, the company said on Monday.The compromised data included users’ ancestry information as well as, for some users, health-related information based on their genetic profiles, the company said in an email.Privacy advocates have long warned that sharing DNA with testing companies like 23andMe and Ancestry makes consumers vulnerable to the exposure of sensitive genetic information that can reveal health risks of individuals and those who are related to them.In the case of the 23andMe breach, the hacker only directly accessed about 14,000 of 23andMe’s 14 million customers, or 0.1%.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — With the free-agent market stalled so far as the baseball world awaits Shohei Ohtani’s decision, the MLB Winter Meetings this week may not feature many major signings. But with the league gathered under one very large roof at the sprawling Opryland Resort, teams can still use the opportunity to lay the groundwork for trade talks.On Monday, Farhan Zaidi said the Giants were engaged in “lots of trade conversations” while providing some insight into their plans.“Certain areas like shopping to add starting pitching at the front end of the rotation, that’s probably more likely to happen in free agency.
