What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Rob Bonta announced that the state will receive a US$6 million settlement payment from 23andMe’s bankruptcy proceedings. This payment resolves California’s legal claims stemming from a 2023 data breach that exposed genetic and personal information belonging to 6.9 million customers. The settlement comes after California agreed to drop further appeals regarding the sale of 23andMe assets to TTAM Research Institute.

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The settlement provides a financial recovery for the state related to the privacy breach. This follows a period where California unsuccessfully attempted to block the sale of 23andMe assets, arguing the transaction violated the state’s Genetic Information Privacy Act.
