California Cryobank, the largest sperm bank in the United States, has revealed that it suffered a data breach exposing the private details of its customers. The company has not yet disclosed if donor information was also compromised in the breach.
Bleeping Computer reports that California Cryobank, a full-service sperm bank that provides frozen donor sperm and specialized reproductive services to all 50 states and more than 30 countries worldwide, has announced that it experienced a data breach after detecting suspicious activity on its network last year. The company immediately isolated the affected computers from the IT network to contain the incident.
According to California Cryobank’s data breach notification, an unauthorized party gained access to their IT environment between April 20, 2024, and April 22, 2024, potentially accessing and/or acquiring files maintained on certain computer systems. As a precautionary measure, the company conducted a comprehensive search and review of the files that may have been compromised during the incident.
The nearly year-long investigation revealed that the attack exposed varying amounts of personal data belonging to California Cryobank’s customers. The compromised information included names, bank account and routing numbers, Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, payment card numbers, and/or health insurance information. In response to the breach, California Cryobank is offering complimentary one-year credit monitoring services to individuals whose Social Security or driver’s license numbers were exposed.
To enhance its security posture, California Cryobank has implemented additional safeguards and security measures aimed at protecting data and monitoring their systems. However, the company has not yet disclosed whether donor information, such as donor ID numbers, was compromised in the breach. This has raised significant privacy concerns for individuals who have donated sperm anonymously in the past, as donor ID numbers are typically shared with customers and can be used by their offspring to learn more about their biological father when they turn 18.

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
