Genetic testing company 23andMe will pay $30 million to settle a class action lawsuit over a 2023 data breach which ended in millions of customers having data exposed.
$30 million / 6.9 million users compromised = $4.35
Your personal genetic privacy is worth less than $5.
I'm not the brightest bulb but I never trusted any of these DNA gigs. If it's not them selling your DNA data to the highest bidder, it's the potential of data breaches like this where not only is your DNA data up for grabs but I assume credit card info and probably SSN or other personal identifiable information. It's kind of crazy to me.
