And more importantly what are they doing with the asset that is your dna coding?

Thank you for the info. I think they’re on their way out also.

Well I haven't been following the latest in the news regarding DNA and the different companies and this is a big shock. It makes me a little scared so I better get busy and do some screenshots. Thank you for a heads up. Hopefully I don't need it, but just in case it's better to be safe than sorry.

Thank you for this. My testing kit just came in, should I open it, use and send back? Yikes!!

[danette]

And there is no way to download the match list that sucks!!

[mamiavodah]

There's no way to PRINT your info? Paper can't be hacked....

[kathleen]

Yeah, had to break the news to my son about the hack. You would have thought they had better security.

[honeyg]

Yikes - getting screenshots over the weekend!

Closed for "The long term" would not be "at least".
