- A Settlement has been reached with 23andMe (now 'Chrome') regarding a cyberattack that compromised personal data of 6.4 million U.S. residents.
- Eligible class members include 23andMe customers between May 1, 2023, and October 1, 2023, who received a data breach notice.
- Potential benefits include cash payments (up to $10,000 for Extraordinary Claims, $165 for Health Information Claims, $100 for Statutory Claims) and 5 years of privacy/medical services.
- The case, originally in the Northern District of California, is now in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Missouri.
- Class members must file a claim to receive benefits; inaction binds them to the settlement terms.
- Opt-out options are available unless excluded via Bankruptcy Solicitation Materials.
- 23andMe's assets were sold to TTAM Research Institute in July 2025, leading to a name change to Chrome.
