I'd imagine the major intelligence agencies have already started their own genetic databases, right? Being able to track down everyone at a genetic level is insanely valuable data from a national security perspective.

Given that the intelligence agencies regularly and aggressively hack every telecom and networking company out there, it's pretty likely that they have already hacked the commercial DNA databases, no? Why wouldn't they?

I'd like to think there is someone out there trying to protect my data, but it's much more likely they are just aggregating everything into a single genome DB that will inevitably get hacked or leaked.
