10月19日 - 加州总检察长罗布·邦塔周一宣布，该州将在23andMe破产程序中获得600万美元的和解付款，以解决与2023年数据泄露事件相关的加州法律诉求，该事件暴露了690万客户的基因及其他个人信息。
Oct 19 - California Attorney General Rob Bonta on Monday announced the state will receive a $6 million settlement payment in 23andMe's bankruptcy, resolving California's legal claims related to a 2023 data breach that exposed 6.9 million customers' genetic and other personal information.
加州此前曾试图阻止23andMe资产以3.05亿美元出售给TTAM研究所，但未成功。TTAM研究所是一家由23andMe联合创始人安妮·沃伊奇茨基控制的非营利组织。加州曾主张该破产出售违反了加州遗传信息隐私法，并称消费者未就该出售给予明确同意。
California had unsuccessfully tried to block the $305 million sale of 23andMe assets to TTAM Research Institute, a nonprofit controlled by 23andMe co-founder Anne Wojcicki. The state had argued that the bankruptcy sale violated California's Genetic Information Privacy Act, and it had said consumers did not give express consent to the sale.
曾是DNA检测套件先驱的23andMe于2025年3月申请破产，寻求通过拍卖出售其业务，原因是需求下降及数据泄露带来的法律后果。
Once a trailblazer in DNA testing kits, 23andMe filed for bankruptcy in March 2025, seeking to sell its business at auction after a decline in demand and legal fallout from the data breach.
美国破产法官曾驳回加州对该出售的反对意见，随后裁定加州无法向破产公司的继承方追索款项。加州在联邦地区法院就该出售的上诉失败，并根据周一提交的法院文件，同意作为600万美元和解的一部分撤回进一步上诉。
A US bankruptcy judge ruled against California's objections to the sale, and later ruled that the state could not sue to recover money from the bankrupt company's successor. California lost an appeal over the sale in federal district court, and it agreed to drop further appeals as part of the $6 million settlement, according to court documents filed on Monday.
23andMe客户在破产出售过程中保留删除其数据的选项，但加州曾主张法院应禁止任何数据转移，除非23andMe客户先就出售给予明确同意。
Customers of 23andMe retained the option to delete their data during the bankruptcy sale process, but California had argued that the court should have disallowed the transfer of any data unless 23andMe customers first gave express consent to the sale.
“我为捍卫加利福尼亚人的隐私权感到自豪，并为此向信任23andMe的消费者达成此和解而感到自豪，” 民主党人邦塔周一在一份声明中表示。“我想提醒加利福尼亚人，23andMe的客户可以删除其私人基因数据 — — 不论谁拥有它。” 据总检察长办公室称，该数据泄露事件暴露了超过85.5万加利福尼亚人的基因信息。
"I am proud to fight for the privacy rights of Californians and to deliver this settlement for consumers who put their trust in 23andMe," Bonta, a Democrat, said in a statement on Monday. "I want to remind Californians that customers of 23andMe can delete their private, genetic data — no matter who owns it.”The data breach exposed the genetic information of more than 855,000 Californians, according to the attorney general's office.
23andMe同意作为其破产程序的一部分，向2023年数据泄露事件的受害者支付4675万美元。
23andMe agreed to pay $46.75 million to victims of the 2023 data breach as part of its bankruptcy.
