If you used 23andMe between May 1 and Oct. 1, 2023 and later got a notice saying your data was compromised in the October 2023 cyberattack, you may be eligible for part of the $30M–$50M class action settlement — including cash payments up to $10,000 and five full years of privacy + genetic monitoring.
Here’s the fast version so you can scan, see what you’re owed, and file your claim before the deadline.
In October 2023, 23andMe (now operating as Chrome) announced a cyberattack that exposed sensitive information belonging to about 6.4 million U.S. customers — including genetic data, ancestry records, raw genotype information and more.
Multiple lawsuits said 23andMe didn’t adequately protect user data.
23andMe denies the claims but agreed to settle for $30M–$50M to resolve the litigation.
Who qualifies?
You’re included if all of the following are true:
You were a 23andMe customer between May 1 – Oct. 1, 2023
You lived in the U.S. during that time
You received notice that your personal information was compromised
You may also be in a special statutory subclass if you lived in Alaska, California, Illinois, or Oregon during the same period.
If your notice said your health information was accessed, you may qualify for extra health-related compensation.
How much you can get?
Depending on your situation, you may qualify for:
Up to $10,000 — Extraordinary Claims (documented losses tied to the breach)
Up to $165 — Health Information Claims
Estimated ~$100 — Statutory Cash Claims (for residents of AK, CA, IL, OR)
Five years of Privacy & Medical Shield + Genetic Monitoring for all class members who enroll
The monitoring program includes dark-web scanning, genetic/medical alerts, identity protection tools, and up to $1M identity theft insurance.
