23andMe Faces New Security Mandates in $18m Data Breach Settlement

23andMe agreed to an $18 million settlement with 42 US state attorneys general following its 2023 data breach. The settlement includes mandated improvements to the company's data protection practices and security infrastructure.

Why it matters: Genetic testing and consumer health data companies now face heightened regulatory scrutiny; practitioners should monitor how these obligations reshape incident response and data handling in the personal genomics sector.
