This is why companies need to be held seriously liable for these kinds of things. Until we start taking security seriously and making failure costly, this will keep happening.
This is why you don't do these DNA Tests:
DNA testing site MyHeritage has said the company has been hacked.

Yeah, I'm not sure what one would do with the info other than track down my serial killer relatives, deny certain health coverages or match my kidney to a billionaire that needs one....Most likely everything you do financially and healthwise is on computers and can be hacked, to me my DNA is the least of them I would worry about.
I could stage a crime scene with your DNA.Yeah, I'm not sure what one would do with the info other than track down my serial killer relatives, deny certain health coverages or match my kidney to a billionaire that needs one....
Threats, I'm telling Mom.I could stage a crime scene with your DNA.
Using CRISPR CAS 9, If I got your nucleotide sequence off of their server, I'm sure it could be replicated. Or close enough where they would think it was you or one of your siblings.Threats, I'm telling Mom.
But could you stage it with my DNA report?
All because I'm beautiful? Hater.Using CRISPR CAS 9, If I got your nucleotide sequence off of their server, I'm sure it could be replicated. Or close enough where they would think it was you or one of your siblings.
By the way, you can buy a do it yourself CRISPR CAS9 kit for $159. It is supposed to be used for bacteria, but if your smart enough you could probably use it for other purposes. Or you could spend $1,849 and get a full Genetic Engineering Home Lab Kit.All because I'm beautiful? Hater.

Different ethnic backgrounds presumably, but it would be interesting to see what they're actually using. Ireland and Scotland have more in common than Wales, and the rest of old Celtic Britain. There should also be a fair amount of Scandinavian background in Scottish heritage, and to a lesser extent, Ireland, but Bobo came up light? What about the Germanic Brits? How do you distinguish them from Germans?So you have something similar to me, I really wish they would detail what the breakdown is between Ireland/Scotland/Wales and Great Britain. Ireland is obvious but Scotland/Wales seems odd since I always thought Great Britain was England/Scotland/Wales.
They couldn't do that unless they had physical access to the actual samples or to me personally.I could stage a crime scene with your DNA.
Interesting, among the low confidence results on mine they had:Different ethnic backgrounds presumably, but it would be interesting to see what they're actually using.

It all seems sketchy to me. I'd just make it up. I say I'm nearly all German. As far as I know 3/4 of my grandparents were all German, with the fourth being a mix. AFAIC, I'm German. My recollection is probably as accurate, and it's certainly as meaningful as a dna service, and I didn't subject myself to spyware.
Given I have red hair I imagine it's safe to assume I'm at least partially Irish, or Scottish, or somewhere along those lines. Not that it really matters, it's more a cool thing to know, I guess.
Red hair don't mean anything. You could be Jewish too... you could be Russian or British.

Judaism is not a race, it is a religion.
Naw, that would be like the government is tracking you and shit.Isnt our DNA already in our medical records anyways from all the blood tests and crap we have had?
I'm not even being tinfoil hat. Unless there is some kind of major healthcare law th as t prevents healthcare companies from further testing blood that they are already in possession of... to which I would speculate that they circumvent anyway.Naw, that would be like the government is tracking you and shit.
