UK Biobank Health Data of 500,000 Members Offered for Sale Online
Confidential health data, including DNA, from 500,000 UK Biobank volunteers was offered for sale online in China following an internal data breach. The British government confirmed the incident on April 23, 2026. The data was found listed on Alibaba, but names, addresses, contact details, or telephone numbers were not included. The information included gender, age, month and year of birth, socioeconomic status, lifestyle habits, and measures from biological samples. Access for three Chinese research institutions, which had legitimately downloaded the data, was revoked.
