Data Breach at 23&Me. What you need to do now!

Malicious mischief is afoot. Change your genealogy passwords. Do Not reuse passwords. There has been a hack at 23 & Me. This is a good time for a review of all your genealogy passwords.

Count on Judy Russell, The Legal Genealogist to tell you exactly what steps to take. She breaks each step down in this blog post.

"...But here’s the bottom line: no company can protect us from our own folly. Using a password across multiple websites in this day and age of data hacking is just that: folly. (And yeah, I’ve done it too. My pointing finger here is pointing right back at me too.)" - JR

Change those passwords. Don't reuse at multiple sites! Try using two factor authentication for even more security.
