At least a million data points from 23andMe accounts appear to have been exposed on BreachForums. While the scale of the campaign is unknown, 23andMe says it's working to verify the data.

    You understand that same level of security is used by hospitals, yes?

    No, not all hospitals at least.

    Ill tell that to all the jews whose data got targeted and stolen.

    Sure, go ahead. You have my permission.

    Im sure it was harmless.

    I don't know why you are sure of it. It could cause harm even if you can't think of what harm it will cause.

    Your brain works differently from mine. Your idea of protecting your data is to give away and even force them to collect more data on you. Mine to make them collect less data.

      Your brain short circuits at sarcasm, so Im not really expecting much from it.

      If you are already giving valued medical data to someone, the simple act of checking the ip of login and sending a "was this you?" email isnt even remotely the level of data loss you want to pretend it is.

      Its common sense to protect your user, and your database, from phishing. If you want to genuinely claim that phishing protections for medical data is bad, by all means. You already sound like a fool, may as well set the stone.

        Personal insults are always great arguments. Please continue at your leisure. Since I am not good at it I will stop here.
