Over 26 million people shared confidential DNA data

CALIFORNIA: Giving out personal data to companies for tailored information has become as common as writing your name and address on a postcard. However, in the digital age, implications of sharing personal data are insane. According to a MIT Technology Review study, over 26 million people have taken DNA tests from major consumer genetics companies, giving out the remainder of their private and confidential data. At the given rate, gene troves could hold data on the genetic makeup of more than 100 million people within the next 24 months. The exploding DNA database is a goldmine for medical corporations and law enforcement.
