A local woman's information was leaked after 23andMe was hacked
, and now she's warning others whose information may have also been leaked in the breach. Close to a million people have had their DNA and personal information leaked through the popular DNA Biotech company, '23 and me'.
“I was shocked," Klawitter told ABC 6. "My family is scared. People I have seen on TikTok and Facebook are scared. I think it has something to do with what’s going on in Israel. Everything political has been heightened and we've been seeing an alarming rate of antisemitism and nazis in the news lately and all over the internet."After searching online, she came across a document created by the hackers.
Klawitter says she immediately messaged the company on Facebook last week. They opened her message, but did not respond. She finally received a generic notification of the hack to her email, yesterday.
