What happened to 23andMe? 23andMe filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection back in March. Anne Wojcicki, who co-founded the company nearly two decades ago and served as its CEO stepped down. The San Francisco-based company said that it would look to sell "substantially all of its assets" through a court-approved reorganization plan. Wojcicki intends to bid on 23andMe as the company pursues a sale through the bankruptcy process. In a statement on social media, Wojcicki said that she resigned as CEO to be "in the best position" as an independent bidder. 23andMe said that filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection helps facilitate a sale of the company, meaning that it's seeking new ownership. The company said it wants to pull back on its real estate footprint and has asked the court to reject lease contracts in San Francisco and Sunnyvale, California, and elsewhere to help cut costs. But the company plans to keep operating during the process. I used the service, is my DNA data safe?
