Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has secured a $150 million settlement from 23andMe following a data breach that affected 6.9 million customers in 2023. The settlement, part of a multistate coalition involving 42 states, addresses serious security failures by the genetic testing company. After the breach, which exposed sensitive genetic information, 23andMe filed for bankruptcy in March 2025. Texas will receive $1,266,860 from the settlement, while 23andMe also agreed to a $46.75 million class-action settlement for affected consumers. The agreement includes enhanced data security measures and compliance with state privacy laws.
