It’s hard to turn on your TV anymore without seeing an ad for one of the commercial DNA testing services.
AncestryDNA, MyHeritage and 23andMe are all spending massive amounts of cash on ads to try to lure as many people to use their service as possible.
And it’s easy to understand why. Just about everyone we talk to these days has either already submitted their DNA for testing or are planning to in the near future.
But truth be told, there are very real and serious risks involved with allowing any commercial company to store your genetic information in their database.
Have you seen those commercials for DNA testing companies like 23andMe and AncestryDNA?
The popular DNA testing service MyHeritage DNA has just reported that hackers have stolen the email addresses and hashed passwords of over 92 million users.
