Federal Trade Commission Chairman Andrew Ferguson said he's keeping an eye on 23andMe's bankruptcy proceeding and the company's planned sale because of privacy concerns related to genetic testing data.

Whoever buys 23andMe should be required to keep customer data private, according to the US Federal Trade Commission. The FTC weighed in on 23andMe’s sale today, a week after the DNA testing company filed for bankruptcy.

The company filed for bankruptcy after financial challenges over the past few years and a massive data breach in 2023.
