Hot Take:

23andMe may have just proven that your DNA is not only your identity but also a juicy target for hackers. Hackers have apparently gotten their hands on a treasure trove of our genetic goodies. And get this: they're not just selling your average Joe's DNA data – they're peddling specific DNA linked to Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry. If that doesn't make you want to spit into a tube, I don't know what will!
