Genetic testing company 23andMe has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, putting the DNA data of millions up for sale and sparking major privacy concerns.

Since 2006, 23andMe has built a vast genetic database, promising insights into health risks and ancestry.

However, experts warn that users have no control over where their sensitive data goes, and U.S. privacy laws offer little protection.

The 2023 hack exposing nearly 7 million users’ data has heightened fears, NBC News has reported.

While 23andMe insists it will follow legal protocols, critics stress that selling genetic data poses serious risks, not just for individuals but also their relatives.
