California’s attorney general is urging consumers to delete their genetic data from their 23andMe accounts.
I don't know if anyone here has a connection with this business but it's better to follow similar method of deleting your data from their accounts.

When I saw this I was stunned on why the court literally gave them the go ahead, after all their bankruptcy came when they had data breached. There are many potential dangers this may cause to customers as time passed.
The moment they got the approval from the court for sale of these data, they have already backed up customers data such that deleting them will be a waste of time. This company was doomed to go bankrupt because they have been infamous for data breach over the years. One should, therefore, not be surprise if people stopped doing business with them for the safety of their data. This is indeed an unfortunate situation for their customers whose data are at the risk of being sold to God knows who.
