When you trust a company for genealogy and DNA testing services, you trust them with your highly sensitive private data. While that trust is often expected by customers, it’s rarely earned. Security researchers discovered earlier this week that over 92 million account details of MyHeritage customers were sitting on a private server outside of the company.

The Israel-based ancestry platform offers services like creation of family trees to discover familial and ancestry records. The company that reportedly has over 35 million family trees on its site has confirmed a breach that affects 92,283,889 of its users.
