23andMe data may have been leaked

[Abriekman]

I checked the leak file and even my not needed to anyone data was leaked while I am only about 1% Ashkenazi...

Wow, didn't know Elon Musk was Jewish

And how do you know it now?

EDIT: Unfortunately I can not see any proportions in the data. More noteworthy than having at least 0.1% Ashkenazi and thus having Ashkenazi in 23andMe's Ancestry Composition ought to be that Elons Musk has a Vietnamese/Chinese yDNA O-F1150 = OF953.

In the code just after Elon Musk's regions: Ashkenazi;Balkan;British Irish. The top ethnicity is Ashkenazi. I doubt they could leak someone's data based on yDNA

How do you conclude that Ashkenazi is the "top ethnicity" (biggest ethnicity proportion)?

The hacker told he searched for Ashkenazi. Then you can expect to get that results that you searched for as the frist mentioned ethnicity.

But regardless of this expectation of mine there seem to be an alphabetic order and not an order of proportion. Because almost everyone gets British & Irish as #2 and the vast majority get "Broadly European" as #3 which according to my experience regarding 23andMe results seem impossible to regularly become the 3rd biggest proportion.

Also Balkan as a size #2 ethnicity is impossible for Elon Musk, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musk_family

Or do you have any statements on that the order of mentioning is the order of proportion?

Oh, you're right, it's in alphabetical order. Even for me Ashkenazi is the first.

Anyway, I didn't except Elon Musk to be even a little Jewish, I thought he was of only Swiss German, English and Dutch descent.

And what's interesting is that it seems that 1 million out of 14 millions ( about 7% ) of tested 23andme users are at least 0.1% Ashkenazi.

Where could you see that? In any leaked data or do you have a link for one's own such data at 23andMe?

I downloaded the leaked file here: https://breachforums.is/Thread-DNA-D...hkenazi-REPOST

I opened it in Wordpad, typed my name in Find option and saw my data there

If this is accurate, you can expect a whole lot of lawsuits.

23&Me should have disclosed that they are not responsible if opting for family finder leads to your profile being exposed to non matches due to credential stuffing. Customers should do so at there own risk and preferably use two factor authentication.

OMG, it's much greater than I thought! I first opened it with an old Excel program that is limited to 65,000 lines but now with WordPad and the file has 203 MB and a million individuals. I was not in that list although I theoretically could have been. But I think he has more data.

To be perfectly honest I wish that data from the whole 23andMe database to be able to search for haplogroups and surnames!

Do you know whether he has released more than this file with one million data sets? I heard something of 2 million.
