    Yeah I knew submitting dna samples to companies wasn’t a good idea because they give data to police departments but it didn’t occur to me to use it to target minorities.

      The accounts compromised were ones that had reused their passwords and the only way to get genomic data from an account is for a link to be sent to your email account.
