You shouldn’t trust 23andme with your data btw:

Because their users are stupid and reuse passwords? Not really 23andmes fault

Well that and they happily provide DNA info to police whenever asked. To the point where they can find people through relatives. Like, if you have a shithead cousin who commits a crime, they can use your DNA to match his. And then the police have your DNA on file.
As I’m sure you know, the accounts that got credential stuffed also exposed the information of anyone that had shared data with them.
What’s more is these hacked accounts were used to friend and solicit other 23&Me users to share their data, expanding the amount of data collected well beyond the scope of just the accounts that got hacked.
I’m sure the nearly 7 million people who had their info stolen through the breach of just 14k accounts weren’t all stupid.
They completely underrepresented the scope of the breach… That is what puts them in the sketchy category
