They stole the DNA data of users with recycled passwords. Last I saw this was 14,000 users and I was notified that at least one was transitively related to me. So they didn't get my DNA, just one or more user's view of my profile. I got out before a real breach happens and they do privilege escalation or phish an admin or something. Or like OP said go into bankruptcy/acquisition and sell their most valuable asset.
