Credential-stuffing attack in 2023 affected about 6.9 million 23andMe accounts, with targeted release of Ashkenazi Jewish and Chinese-ethnicity ancestry reports on dark-web forums. $30M class action settlement (potentially up to $50M) received final approval Jan 30, 2026 from Judge Walsh. Claim filing window closed Feb 17, 2026. 23andMe filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy in March 2025; sold to TTAM Research Institute (led by founder Anne Wojcicki) in July 2025. Settlement payments are paused pending bankruptcy reconciliation; distribution timing is expected to take considerable time.
