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.

    I mean, targeting jews is obvious, no? Some racial purity freaks are trying to target the genetic root of a minority group.

    23andMe basically drafted up a list of as many jewish descendants as they could get, which means the lunatics can use it as an easy list of targets.

    Heres hoping the fuckers get caught before they can do anything with the data.

      You think there’s a group that’s going to take this as a hit list?

      I know shits going downhill but I didn’t think I needed to start thinking about packing bags…

          As a power fantasy mostly. They might pass it around and use it to jerk each other off but not much more than that. The problem is, it’s only a fantasy until it makes it’s way into the hands of someone with the means and derangement to act on it: two qualities which, depending on where you live, can be unsettlingly easy to come by
