A U.S. bankruptcy judge approved a $46.75 million settlement for victims of a 2023 data breach at 23andMe that exposed the genetic and personal information of approximately 6.9 million customers.

Plaintiffs initially sought $48 billion, with court records showing individual awards ranging from $50 to $10,000 based on proven harm. The litigation is not fully resolved, as California Attorney General Rob Bonta continues a separate lawsuit alleging the company ignored warnings about system vulnerabilities.
