California's attorney general has filed suit against genetic testing company twenty-three and Me over a twenty twenty three data breach that exposed the personal information of seven million users.

The incident points to a broader pattern of small jamming devices being deployed to quietly erode the positioning systems that modern militaries and civilians both depend on every day.

The promise is extraordinary, but so is the weight of knowing, and health systems will need to grapple with what early detection actually means when treatment options remain limited.
