23andMe Bankruptcy Filing Raises Privacy Concerns as Millions of DNA Records Are Put Up for Sale

23andMe filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, raising concerns about the potential sale of customer genetic data during the proceedings. Geoffrey Fowler warns that individuals should delete their genetic data to prevent possible misuse in the sale of 23andMe's assets. The Arizona Attorney General's Office advises residents to remove their data from 23andMe to safeguard their privacy in light of the bankruptcy. Despite the filing, 23andMe announced that it would continue normal operations and uphold current data protection practices.
