Looks like my instincts to never get a dna test were on-point.

The trade-off just never made sense to me. It would be kind of cool to know some like genetic details about myself, but that would also be giving my DNA to a corporation doing God knows what with it.
They've been compromised a few times over the past couple of years.
It's just how it goes.
Companies collect data and hackers steal it.
Exactly why I don’t plan on giving them my dna. 🧬
It's not just hackers I'm worried about. DNA testing is a popular way to trace one's family history and ancestry, but it also raises privacy concerns. Some (well most) commercial DNA testing companies share their customers' genetic data with law enforcement agencies to help solve crimes, either voluntarily or under legal pressure. This could expose personal information or implicate innocent people in criminal investigations. According to a Pew Research Center survey, about half of Americans are OK with this practice, while a third find it unacceptable. Here are some sources for more information:
