UK Biobank health data listed for sale in China, government confirms
bbc.co.ukBiobank might have only told the government about this on Monday, but here's an article from 1 month ago about the records being leaked (to github!) during 2025: https://www.theguardian.com/science/2026/mar/14/confidential...
They may have been leaked up to 197 times: https://biobank.rocher.lc/
They should be permanently shut down if that’s the case.
Not sure how that follows. It seems mostly irrelevant whether the new incident is related to the github issue.
What a joke and not a good one. I remember getting the letter through post to participate and telling my wife I don't trust these guys with that level of personal information. Sad that it came true.
