A federal bankruptcy judge has given the green light to a $46.75 million settlement for victims of a data breach that hit genetic testing company 23andMe back in 2023.
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Brian Walsh, presiding in St. Louis, determined that the settlement was fair, equitable, and in the best interest of a trust being managed by 23andMe’s bankruptcy administrator.
The ruling came Tuesday, providing some financial relief to those whose personal genetic data was compromised in the breach.
