Genetic testing firm 23andMe has suffered a data breach. 

1 million data points exclusively about Ashkenazi Jews have been advertised for sale on a cybercrime forum. There's also information about hundreds of thousands of users of Chinese descent.

It appears to be a credential stuffing attack—where previously leaked logins and passwords from other sites are tried on 23andMe—with the attackers then scraping data from profiles

@90657cc1's story has all the details we know so far:

 NEW: Food prices in Europe have been soaring. Earlier this year, the Austrian government said it would build a price database to let people compare costs at different supermarkets. It said this would take months to make and only include a small number of product categories. 

Within 2 hours, @78d4a125 had built a first prototype, pulling the data from supermarket's websites, and open sourced the project. Now Heisse Preise lists 177,000 products from 10 chains. 

The transparency has allowed prices to be compared: and the results appear to show supermarkets are watching each other and adjusting their prices based on others. The competition authority is investigating and already said new laws should make supermarkets publish proper APIs with full item data

 One day after the Onljne Safety Bill effectively passes in the UK and the government is briefing against Meta’s rollout of end-to-end encryption. These are exactly the same talking points it’s been using for the last year, I’m not really sure what the govt is hoping to achieve by saying the same thing again and again (especially when it’s clear Meta won’t be changing its plans to roll out encryption )
