Californie : le procureur général poursuit 23andMe pour la violation de données génétiques de 2023

📰 Source : BleepingComputer | Date de publication : 29 mai 2026 | Contexte : Suite à la violation de données de 2023 ayant exposé les informations de près de 7 millions de clients de 23andMe (désormais Chrome Holding Co.), le procureur général de Californie Rob Bonta a déposé une plainte formelle contre l’entreprise. 🔍 Incident d’origine (2023) L’attaque a été révélée en octobre 2023, lorsque des acteurs malveillants ont proposé à la vente des enregistrements volés à 23andMe, accompagnés de fuites d’échantillons de données pour en prouver l’authenticité. L’entreprise a confirmé l’authenticité des données et attribué l’intrusion à une attaque par credential stuffing ciblant des comptes avec des identifiants faibles.
