Our whole family did those spit tests and the only person whose data was compromised was our teenage daughter's. Bet they liked stealing THAT data didn't they?! 😡
Lol all your data compromised. And your cousin. And your second degree cousin.
Your DNA give so much clue that leak one can find a lot more. I think police can track up to second degree cousin like that.
That why before do test you should always ask entire family (up, down, sideway relation in family tree) if ok. Because you publish their data too. In my opinion should be in law.
