California Sues 23andMe Over 2023 Genetic Data Breach

California Attorney General Rob Bonta says he will sue Chrome Holding (the post-bankruptcy rebrand of 23andMe) over a 2023 data breach that exposed genetic data for nearly seven million users and their relatives, alleging the company failed to protect data and misled consumers about the breach's severity. Investigators say the data was later sold on the dark web, and attackers used credential stuffing to access accounts, with reports that the breach involved targeting Asian American, Pacific Islander, and Jewish users.
