Vitagene

DNA testing service Vitagene exposed thousands of customer records online for years after being hit by a data breach.

More than 3,000 user files remained accessible to the public on Amazon Web Services cloud computer servers .

When Vitagene was notified of the issue they shut down external access to the sensitive personal information.
