A data breach at 23andMe involved credential stuffing, impacting 14,000 accounts but affecting nearly 7 million users’ information. The breach led to the exposure of sensitive data, including DNA relative profiles. The lawsuit claims that 23andMe failed to adequately protect user data and did not inform certain ancestry groups about targeted information. Eligible affected customers can seek compensation for hardship, potentially up to $10,000, provided they were US residents on a specified date in 2023.
To qualify for a settlement payment from the 23andMe lawsuit, you must have been a US resident on Aug. 11, 2023, and experienced a hardship.
After the breach, 23andMe notified affected customers and urged all users to change passwords and activate two-factor authentication to enhance security.
