What about this? https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/dna-from-genealogy-site-used-t...

Seems like there is at least some value.

There's arguably societal benefit to the broader availability of DNA data but very little of that passes down to me personally and there are risks. I have very few close relatives but it's not hard to imagine the widespread use of this data by law enforcement would pull in some people with more extended families into investigations they'd rather not be involved in.

Sure , there are several big issues in compromised DNA profiles. See also: https://www.ecseq.com/blog/2019/privacy-implications-of-gene...

But let's wait until it's clear whether raw data was actually leaked.

Isn’t the raw data pretty much guaranteed to be leaked ?

I remember a few years ago there was a button to download raw data.

So if you can log in you can just download.

Doh! Didn't get the fuss over DNA data before but that scenario definitely makes it clear.
