House intelligence committee member warns people not to share health data with sites like 23andMe because it can be used to program new bio-weapons to target them
US Rep Jason Crow warned that bio-weapons are being made that use a target’s DNA to only kill that person during the Aspen Security Forum on Friday
The congressman said the development of the weapons is worrisome given the popularity of DNA testing services like 23andMe
23andMe has stated that it does not sell off customer’s private information, but the company is one of many that has provided information to police
In 2019, it was found that several Russian and Chinese labs were processing DNA tests for Americans through Medicare and Medicaid
Officials warned the bio-weapons could also target animals and disrupt food supplies around the globe
