Between the security issues and warrants, I think Curtis had enough. What a strange few years for GEDmatch where it transformed from an obscure genetic genealogy site to forensic database. I wonder if Verogen will give other player like Parabon access for IGG purposes.
Thanks @blueyedgenes! Shout out to my co-authors @yoshi_kohno and @luisceze.
The DNA database used to find the Golden State Killer is a national security leak waiting to happen - More on the analysis of genetic genealogy security by @UW #UWAllen researchers @_peterney @yoshi_kohno @luisceze, via @techreview technologyreview.com/s/614642/dna-d…
.@uwcse researchers found that the third-party genealogy site GEDmatch is vulnerable to security risks. One risk: A malicious user could construct a fake genetic profile to impersonate someone’s relative. Details here: washington.edu/news/2019/10/2… | @yoshi_kohno @luisceze @_peterney
Well, that's new. Just received an RFQ for an IMSI catcher (complete with required specs) for a foreign country at our IMSI catcher detector project email address.
