Victims of a 2023 data hack at genetics testing company 23andMe are set to receive a multi-million-dollar payout from the firm.
A California bankruptcy court judge ruled on Tuesday that Chrome Holding, which last year took control of 23andMe after its bankruptcy, should pay out $46.75m (£35m) in compensation.
23andMe compiles genetic profiles of people through DNA testing kits, but it was heavily criticised after as many as 6.9 million people had their data breached in the 2023 hack.
Representatives of Chrome Holding and 23andMe have been contacted for comment.
