Atlas Biomed's website is no longer active and the phone number listed is dead as well.
A DNA-testing company with alleged Russian links has vanished with highly sensitive data of its customers, according to a BBC report. The firm called Atlas Biomed, which has offices in London, used to provide insights into the genetic makeup of its customers as well as their predisposition to certain illnesses. But the company appears to have gone off-grid with customers left in the dark and worried about the security of their data which includes biometrics. The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) said it was aware of the incident and confirmed it had received a complaint about the company's disappearance.
"People have the right to expect that organisations will handle their personal information securely and responsibly," it said in a statement.
Atlas Biomed's website is no longer active and the phone number listed is dead as well. The Instagram page, with over 11,000 followers, showed the last post dated March 2022.
