What are the immediate consequences of 23andMe selling its genetic data, especially for the 15 million users whose data is now at risk?

23andMe, declared bankrupt last week after a data breach lawsuit, is selling its database containing the genetic information of 15 million people, including many Ashkenazi Jews. This raises serious privacy concerns, especially given the company's history of data security issues and undisclosed data-sharing agreements. Privacy experts urge users to delete their data immediately.
