23andMe has officially filed for bankruptcy protection, raising alarms for the privacy of its 15 million customers' genetic data. The company assures that data privacy will be a priority in any future transactions, but experts warn users to take precautionary measures. Customers are advised to log into their accounts to delete their data, but a slowdown on the site is reported as many rush to act. Although users can revoke consent for data usage, some information may still be retained for legal compliance. Families are encouraged to discuss data protection as well.
