23andMe successor settles with California for $6 million over cybersecurity failings
California's Attorney General announced that 23andMe's successor company will pay $6 million to settle allegations of inadequate data protection prior to a 2023 breach. The settlement resolves the state's claims regarding the company's cybersecurity failings.
Why it matters: Customers of 23andMe and similar companies handling sensitive genetic data should understand that regulatory settlements reflect past security gaps; practitioners responsible for genetic or health data platforms need to review their own access controls and breach response protocols.
