Is your DNA safe?
DNA hacking could be a problem of the future In light of recent world events, a cyber attack at DNA testing firm 23andMe earlier this month didn’t make many headlines. The popular company provides users with a comprehensive ancestry breakdown based on their DNA and, according to the leaked data, its customers include Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg – although this has not been verified.
Would a company hire a 58-year-old to be its new CEO if they knew she or he had a high chance of developing dementia? Technically, there is protection in place against such DNA hacking. Under section 45 of the UK Human Tissue Act of 2004, the non-consensual retrieval of another person’s bodily material for genetic analysis is a criminal offence. Proving this has taken place however can be tricky, and not a high priority for the police.
