Michigan settles bankruptcy claims against 23AndMe over genetic data breach

Michigan is set to receive $436,605 from a $150 million settlement involving 42 states over 23andMe’s 2023 genetic data breach affecting 6.9 million customers, including 163,000 Michiganders. The settlement follows 23andMe’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing in March 2025, limiting payouts to $18 million for states and a $46.75 million class-action settlement for affected consumers. The company sold its consumer data to TTAM Research Institute to ensure safer data custody.
