Potter Handy LLP, a leading consumer privacy law firm, today announced that it is representing nearly 5,000 individuals in California and Illinois impacted by the massive data breach at genetic testing company 23andMe (NASDAQ: ME).

In October 2023, 23andMe revealed that an unauthorized third party had gained access to the accounts of approximately seven million customers and put the stolen data up for sale on the dark web. The compromised information included names, email addresses, dates of birth, genders, profile photos, geographic locations, genetic ancestry results, DNA relatives data, and family tree details.

"The 23andMe data breach represents an egregious violation of consumer privacy rights," said Mark Potter, Managing Partner at Potter Handy. "Our clients put their trust in 23andMe to safeguard their most personal data - their genetic blueprints and family histories. This breach betrays that trust and exposes our clients to risks of identity theft, genetic discrimination, and the misuse of their private information."

Potter Handy's clients include both 23andMe subscribers, whose data was directly compromised, as well as non-subscribers who may have had sensitive information about their DNA and family ties exposed through relatives who used 23andMe.

The law firm is pursuing claims against 23andMe for negligence in failing to implement reasonable data security measures, violations of state privacy laws and consumer protection statutes, and breach of contract.

"23andMe had a duty to protect their customers' sensitive genetic data with robust cybersecurity protocols, yet they failed at this critical obligation," said Jim Treglio, a Data Breach attorney at Potter Handy. "We intend to hold 23andMe fully accountable and fight for maximum compensation for our clients whose private lives were laid bare by this reckless data breach."

Impacted individuals in California and Illinois are urged to contact Potter Handy to explore their legal options against 23andMe at no out-of-pocket cost.

Natural resources investments are generally volatile, with higher headline risk than other sectors. They tend to be more sensitive to economic data, political and regulatory events, and underlying commodity prices. The prices of natural resources investments are influenced by factors such as the costs of underlying commodities like oil, gas, metals, and coal. These investments may trade on various exchanges and experience price fluctuations due to short-term demand, supply, and investment flows.

Natural resource investments often respond more sensitively to global events and economic data, including natural disasters, political turmoil, pandemics, or the release of employment data.

Investing in foreign markets may carry greater risks than domestic markets, including political, currency, economic, and market risks. It is essential to evaluate if trading in low-priced and international securities is appropriate for your circumstances and financial resources. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Mine$tockers Inc., its affiliates, family, friends, employees, associates, and others may hold positions in the securities it covers. Some of the companies covered may be paying clients of the production.

No investment process is risk-free, and profitability is not guaranteed; investors may lose their entire investment. No investment strategy or risk management technique can guarantee returns or eliminate risk in any market environment. Diversification does not ensure a profit or protect against loss. Investing in foreign securities involves risks not associated with domestic investments, such as currency fluctuations, political and economic instability, and differing accounting standards, potentially leading to greater share price volatility. The prices of small- and mid-cap company stocks generally experience higher volatility than large-company stocks and may involve higher risks. Smaller companies may lack the management expertise, financial resources, product diversification, and competitive strengths needed to withstand adverse economic conditions.
