CyberScoop reports that California-based genetic testing company 1health.io, which was previously Vitagene, has been charged by the Federal Trade Commission for inadequately protecting collected genetic and health data. The FTC has alleged the company’s negligence in securing its data after the exposure of almost 2,400 records from at least 227 customers in public AWS data buckets, which was only resolved by the company after the discovery of the insecure buckets was shared by a researcher with the media.
