## Resource

DNA testing giant 23andMe just paid out a massive $18 million across 42 states—including Vermont, New Hampshire, and New York—for a major data breach that exposed genetic info of 6.9 million people, with nearly 14,000 in Vermont alone. The stolen data, sold on the dark web, revealed serious security failures at the company, prompting Vermont to pass a new law protecting genetic privacy. Even as 23andMe files for bankruptcy, states are still getting paid—Vermont $154K, New York over $700K, New Hampshire $187K—and the company agreed to an additional $46.75 million settlement with affected individuals. Your DNA isn’t just private—it’s protected, even when companies fall. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
