Arkansas To Receive $431,937 in 23andMe Breach Settlement

Arkansas is set to receive $431,937 from an $18 million settlement between 23andMe and 42 state attorneys general over a 2023 data breach. The breach affected about 6.9 million consumers, including more than 48,000 Arkansans, and exposed customer information that in some cases included genetic ancestry data. The state settlement is distinct from a $46.75 million class-action agreement in bankruptcy court; reported terms indicate bankruptcy-court approval is still required.
