Ashley Madison

Equifax

23 and Me

those are the only ones I know off the top of my head because those are the ones that affected me. (my ex-husband was on the AM list; I was affected by the Equifax breach; my daughter was affected by the 23 and me breach)

The 23 and me stuff is expecially scary. It is bad enough giving out genetic information to a company. It is even worse when that information is stolen.

Anyone interested in using a gentic ancestry service should read the book Genethics by David Suzuki & Peter Knudtson first. TLDR if a big enough genetic data bank is aquired by the wrong hands, discriminatory practices could increase significantly in job interviews, health insurance and other sectors. Chemical warfare could also be specifically tuned to specific genetic groups.

My mortgage company had a breach and I saw three articles about three different companies having breachs. That and I think OP is also talking about the video game code leaks.

  As someone in the thick of it, it has been a nervewracking quarter for mortgage company IT and Infosec teams. There have been several very high profile breaches the last few months.
