加州起诉23andMe前身公司，指控其未能保护客户数据
Read, Watch or Listen
San Francisco — California Attorney General Rob Bonta sued Chrome Holding Co., the company formerly known as 23andMe, in San Francisco Superior Court on Thursday, May 28, alleging the firm failed to protect customers' genetic, ancestry and health-related data after a breach that began in April 2023 and reportedly lasted several months. The complaint states hackers used credential-stuffing to access about 14,000 accounts initially disclosed in October 2023 and then scraped profiles linked to nearly 6.9 million users, including roughly 855,000 Californians; Bonta seeks civil penalties, injunctions and oversight while litigation proceeds this year and regulators and privacy groups review potential wider policy responses.
