23andMe users told to consider deleting their data by California attorney general as the company files for bankruptcy

Quick Summary:

The California Attorney General is urging 23andMe users to ask the company to delete their data and destroy any samples of genetic material.

Representatives for 23andMe said in an open letter to customers that their data remains protected.
