What Hacker News says

Yes we are and yes I have. Have you? They’ve temporary disabled it due to this data breach, but you were able to download your raw data[0] and then use it as you see fit. I, for example, downloaded mine and used OSGenome[1] to crawl through it and parse it as well as Promethease[2]. So maybe save your downvote next time until you know what you’re talking about. 0: https://ibb.co/yQc9xXP 1: https://github.com/mentatpsi/OSGenome 2: https://promethease.com
In 23andMe tells victims it's their fault that their data was breached
I used 23andMe, and was a happy customer, but asked them to delete my data after -- I wasn't comfortable with them keeping that information (on a long enough timescale, everyone is hacked... or there may be regulatory issues with health insurance one day etc.) I do wonder if they really deleted my data though? Would pay 10x what 23andMe asks for a similar service if they gave you only an offline copy of your data, didn't store it on their servers, but also an offline app to analyze your results. There are some open source solutions[0] out there but they're not as user friendly yet. [0] https://github.com/mentatpsi/OSGenome, https://www.snpedia.com
In 23andMe is raising about $200M, led by Sequoia
