In October 2023, 23andMe suffered a massive data breach that exposed the genetic information of millions of users. The breach, caused by a credential stuffing attack, has raised serious concerns about the security of sensitive DNA data entrusted to the company.

A law firm representing about 5,000 23andMe customers who demanded arbitration after hackers obtained sensitive data from the genetic testing company told a California federal judge last week that it has serious qualms about a proposed $30 million class action settlement.

Personal information for nearly half of the popular genetic testing company's customers -- 6.9 million people -- were exposed in the data breach.

Genetic testing company 23andMe has agreed to pay $30 million to settle a class action lawsuit stemming from a data breach in 2023.
