Credential stuffing cyber attack leads to data breach of genetic info of Jewish Community

In a recent digital assault that stands out from the usual credential stuffing attacks leading to data breaches, hackers specifically targeted a particular sect of Jewish members. This unprecedented incident occurred on the servers of the renowned biotechnology company, 23andMe, which specializes in genetic testing and genealogy-related services. The attack took place in September of this year, resulting in the theft of data related to Ashkenazi Jewish heritage members.

On October 6th, 23andMe made the details of this cyber incident public, acknowledging that information from selected customer profiles using their DNA Relatives Feature had been compromised. The hackers gained access to sensitive data, including first and last names, email addresses, phone numbers, dates of birth, locations, and the genetic histories of Ashkenazi Jewish members, encompassing their ancestral details.

In today’s digital age, many individuals opt for online services that provide genetic and ancestral information for a premium fee. This recent data breach serves as a stark reminder that not all personal details should be shared online, especially when cybercriminals are on the prowl.

A subsequent technical analysis revealed that the attack was initiated using recycled login credentials. Cybercriminals exploited leaked information from previous data breaches to gain unauthorized access to a separate website. Given that many online companies employ a single-password system for multiple linked services, a single password leak can result in a significant online security breach.

To defend against credential stuffing attacks, it is advisable to implement two-factor authentication or multi-factor authentication when logging into online services. 23andMe has initiated a forensic investigation into the incident and is urging its users to change their passwords promptly.

Typically, such data is sold for a price, with rates starting at $1,000 for 100 profiles and increasing to $5,000 for 1,000 profiles. The price doubles for the next 10,000 profiles and so forth. A forum specializing in data breaches has claimed possession of data related to over 1 million Ashkenazi profiles. This data includes haplogroup details, phenotype information, photographs, precise origin estimates, individual data sets, and hundreds of potential relatives’ information, much of which constitutes raw data.

  • The Pixel Watch 2 is available for pre-order with the official launch on October 12.
  • Multiple models of the Pixel Watch 2 are running low or are out of stock.
  • Estimated shipment dates are starting to be pushed back.

When Google announced the Pixel Watch 2, it appeared to be a decent refinement from the first generation. But maybe that’s all it needed because the smartwatch is in such heavy demand that Google is starting to run out of stock.

The Pixel Watch 2 doesn’t officially launch until October 12, two days from now. However, you can go onto the Google Store page and pre-order one for yourself in Bay, Obsidian, Hazel, or Porcelain colors. If you do pre-order the smartwatch, you may find that you’ll have to wait a while before it arrives on your doorstep.

  • A new hands-on video gives us a look at the OnePlus Open from all angles.
  • The phone appears to be about as thick as the Galaxy Z Fold 5.

Now another YouTuber has been granted access to the phone and this time we get a good look at the main screen and how the device compares in size to the Galaxy Z Fold 5.

In a video posted by Jagat Review, we get another close-up look at the Open/Find N3. However, just like before, the camera setup has been covered up by a block of paper.

There’s a lot to dive into with the new Pixel 8 and 8 Pro, but I’m sure everyone’s immediate attention is drawn to the new price tag. For the first time since 2021, Google has raised its smartphone prices, risking a fair bit of the goodwill it’s earned over the past two years of brilliant smartphones.

Starting at $699 for the Pixel 8 and $999 for the Pro, both models are $100 dearer than their predecessors. Price hikes are steeper elsewhere; the UK sees a £150 increase, and €200 is the toll in Europe. However, these changes appear to be down to currency rates rather than outright gouging. Still, there’s no getting around the fact that higher prices are always hard to swallow and will undoubtedly give consumers pause for thought before hitting the buy button.

  • A leaker claims OnePlus is taking another stab at launching a smartwatch.
  • The new smartwatch may launch sometime in 2024.
  • The smartwatch is said to have a round face.

It’s been two years since OnePlus had the disastrous rollout of its first smartwatch, the OnePlus Watch. You could say the device was more fit to be included in a list of best fitness trackers than a list of best smartwatches. But it looks like the company is not giving up and could launch a new smartwatch in 2024.

Max Jambor took some time to post on X (formerly Twitter) about OnePlus’s rumored smartwatch. According to post, OnePlus may be ready to release a OnePlus Watch 2 sometime in 2024. Jambor also adds that the watch will feature a round face.

Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 vs Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE: Should you upgrade?

With the exception of Google’s Pixel Tablet, there might as well be one name in town when it comes to quality Android tablets, and that’s Samsung. If you have Samsung’s Galaxy Tab A8 from 2022, you might be considering a step up to the new Galaxy Tab S9 FE, which is costlier but not as expensive as a full-fledged Tab S9. Is it worth the jump?
