23andMe $47 Million Settlement Approved for 7 Million Breach Victims

23andMe agreed to a $47 million settlement covering about 7 million customers after a 2023 credential-stuffing breach exposed DNA ancestry, relatives-matching, and health predisposition data which was later advertised on dark-web forums; the bankruptcy-related settlement requires deletion of certain genetic data, resolves class-action litigation, and has spurred regulatory action and consumer privacy guidance.
