New Zealand’s (NZ) Ministry of Health (MoH) nuked the file hosting account of U.S.-based genomics scientist Kevin McKernan this week, causing him to lose about $200,000 worth of research data.

MEGA, the file hosting service McKernan was using, appears to have shut down the scientist’s account to prevent the sharing of anonymized data leaked by whistleblower Barry Young.
