She won the company&#8217;s assets last year through a bankruptcy auction with a bid of $305m.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The ruling said the settlement will be first paid to Kroll Restructuring, which is representing the victims, within five business days from Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Kroll will then distribute the funds to the victims, the ruling said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The appointment of companies like Kroll is typical in corporate bankruptcy proceedings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The BBC has contacted the legal team representing the victims to ask how many people will receive the payout.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">23andMe early last year filed for bankruptcy, about 18 months after hackers were able to access roughly 14,000 user accounts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Because the company offered &#8220;comprehensive&#8221; genetic profiles of people who submitted their DNA, including genetic markers related to their health and family history, some of the information accessed by hackers was highly personal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">While the number of accounts accessed directly in the breach only represented a small fraction of 23andMe&#8217;s total users, the hackers were able to access the profiles of those users&#8217; relatives. That gave them access to millions of profiles that 23andMe hosted.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The breach led to investigations and fines, including a \u00a32.31m fine by the Information Commissioner&#8217;s Office (ICO), a UK watchdog. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The ICO said 23andMe had failed to put adequate measures in place to secure sensitive user data prior to the incident.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">In May, Rob Bonta, the Attorney General of California, sued the company following an investigation that found 23andMe &#8220;failed to take basic steps to protect users&#8217; data.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Bonta also claimed that 23andMe &#8220;lied to consumers about the severity of its 2023 data breach.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The company has continued to operate since the bankruptcy, offering DNA testing kits to people online.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">23andMe was once valued at $6bn. It started in 2006 and went public in 2021, but it has never turned a profit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
