Attorney General Dan Rayfield and a coalition of 41 other attorneys general today announced a settlement with the bankruptcy trustee for 23andMe, resolving allegations stemming from a 2023 data breach that compromised the genetic data of 6.9 million customers worldwide. Of the $18 million, Oregon will receive $576,707.

“Think about what people were trusting 23andMe with – not a password you can reset, not a credit card you can cancel, but the code that makes you who you are. When the company discovered its defenses had failed, its first instinct was to point fingers at customers instead of owning what had happened.” – AG Rayfield
