Gedmatch site now back up again

Gedmatch (www.gedmatch.com) is now back up and running again, following its recent decision to temporarily take the site down after a fairly serious privacy breach (see https://scottishgenes.blogspot.com/2020/07/gedmatch-fiasco-continues.html and https://scottishgenes.blogspot.com/2020/07/myheritage-platform-attack-possibly.html). The following message is available at the top of the page:

We have completed a thorough review of the site for security vulnerabilities and have made changes where appropriate to ensure the security of your data. If you note any issues that are of concern, please submit a request tracker ticket for resolution. For our Tier 1 members we will be extending your membership by 1 week. 

Comment: I have now finally been able to delete my account.
