23andMe Bankruptcy: What Customers Need to Know
Popular DNA testing company 23andMe has recently sent out notices to customers regarding a bankruptcy filing and an important deadline for potential claims. If you are a 23andMe customer, you may be eligible to file a claim before July 14, 2025. Here’s what you need to know and how to take action.
Why Did 23andMe File for Bankruptcy?
In recent years, 23andMe faced several challenges including declining sales, cybersecurity breaches, and class-action lawsuits. The most damaging event was a major data breach in 2023 that exposed the personal and genetic data of millions of users. These issues led to financial strain, forcing the company to seek protection under Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
What Does This Mean for 23andMe Customers?
As part of the bankruptcy process, customers may have the right to file claims if they were affected by the data breach or other company-related issues. This could involve:
- Loss of personal data
- Identity theft risks
- Unauthorized use of genetic information
- Other privacy concerns
If you received a notice from 23andMe or the bankruptcy court, it means you may be eligible to file a claim.
Deadline to File a Claim: July 14, 2025
