California Attorney General Rob Bonta sued 23andMe on Thursday over a 2023 data breach affecting 6.9 million United States customers. The lawsuit follows the company's March 2025 bankruptcy filing and a previous $30 million to $50 million settlement for related consumer claims. The litigation complicates asset recovery for creditors and signals stricter state enforcement of genetic privacy laws.
