The company, which has over 15 million customers worldwide, said it voluntarily filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy to “facilitate a sale process to maximize the value of its business.” 23andMe received permission from a judge to try to sell its most valuable asset — customers’ DNA data, Bloomberg reported.
Those data are assets of their customers and the company have responsibility to store the data for customers and don't breach it.
The judge who made that permission of selling dangerous customer data like this, is insane, and should be fired. I am no longer suprrised with company data breaches intentionally (like selling it on dark market by internal staffs) or unintentionally (like by hacks, data breaches) but this case is a first time I've ever known. A company is allowed legally by judge, to sell their customer data. Yes, they are allowed doing this legally.
It's joke!
But if you are not a victim of that company, take your time for reading and understanding more about KYC.
