California’s attorney general is suing the genetic testing company formerly known as 23andMe, alleging it failed to protect sensitive user data in a 2023 breach that affected nearly 7 million people across the country. Attorney General Rob Bonta filed the lawsuit Thursday against Chrome Holding Co., which 23andMe rebranded under after filing for bankruptcy last March. The company has acknowledged that it suffered a major security breach in 2023. Bonta's office said the company failed to implement common security measures and investigate red flags that showed months before the breach that malicious actors were trying to access their systems.

Instructure temporarily took the system offline while it investigated, locking out students and faculty.
