DNA testing giant 23andMe has agreed to pay $30 million to settle a lawsuit over a data breach that exposed the personal information of 6.4 million customers in 2023.

The proposed class action settlement, filed Thursday in a San Francisco federal court and awaiting judicial approval, includes cash payments for affected customers, which will be distributed within ten days of final approval.

“23andMe believes the settlement is fair, adequate, and reasonable,” the company said in a memorandum filed Friday.

    I’m sure they made $600 million through this breech somehow?
