92 million MyHeritage users had their data quietly swiped

MyHeritage, which allows users to set up family trees and probe their DNA for clues about their ancestry, promptly reported the breach in a blog post.

Discovery of the breach falls on the heels of news that law enforcement used a different genealogy site to track down a long-sought suspect in the Golden State Killer case. Though investigators used publicly-available genetic data in that case, it opened widespread security and privacy concerns surrounding such ancestry-tracking and DNA testing sites, which have exploded in popularity recently.
