The company ’23andMe’ has suffered a cyber attack that has caused the theft of genetic data of thousands of clients. With this, the ethnicity or race of the patients and the likelihood they have of suffering from diseases would have been transcended. In ‘Code 10’ they analyze the last hour of the cyberattack and discover all the traces of DNA that we can leave without realizing it.
Many people participate in online DNA genetic reporting. Through simple tests that are carried out at home, they are sent by postal mail to the laboratory and with personal passwords the results can be accessed. But with it also we are giving away our datasuch as genetic origin or genetic relationships around the world.
DNA reveals more information than we imagine and it is everywhere. Proof of this is the sample that we have seen in ‘Code 10’ with an expert geneticist. From the comb or the toothbrush to the screen of our mobile phone, our DNA passes through multiple scenarios in our daily lives.
Crimes solved thanks to DNA
