Attorney General Jones Secures Multistate Settlement of Bankruptcy Claims Against 23andMe over Genetic Data Breach
Attorney General Jay Jones today joined a coalition of 42 attorneys general announcing a settlement with the bankruptcy trustee for 23andMe, resolving allegations stemming from a 2023 data breach that compromised the genetic data of nearly 7 million customers worldwide.
"Virginians and consumers globally have put their trust in companies like 23andMe tohandle their DNA data responsibly as they seek to learn more about their family history and ancestry," said Attorney General Jones. "Thanks to Virginia's consumer protection laws, we were able to hold 23andMe accountable for their faulty security protocols that put consumers at risk, securing a $662,649 settlement."
The settlement includes $150 million in allowed claims for states, but recovery is limited to $18 million to be paid out of available bankruptcy funds immediately. Of the $18 million, Virginia will receive $662,649. 23andMe also agreed to a $46.75 million class-action settlement in the bankruptcy to provide relief to affected U.S. consumers who submitted claims by February 17, 2026.
In October 2023, direct-to-consumer genetic testing company 23andMe announced that it had discovered a data breach in which 6.9 million consumers were affected, including 170,495 in Virginia. This data breach exposed a wide range of data about 23andMe customers, including in some cases genetic ancestry information, and subsets of this data were subsequently published for sale on the dark web.
23andMe learned about the breach months after impacted personal information was publicly available. 23andMe first denied a breach and then, once it confirmed the breach, blamed consumers for how their accounts were set up or how passwords were used. 23andMe initially accepted no responsibility for the credential stuffing breach, which is when the attacker collects stolen account credentials and uses them to gain access to user accounts on other systems. This lack of accountability from 23andMe was particularly egregious considering their partnership with MyHeritage, an online genealogy company which was compromised years prior to the breach, resulted in exposing thousands of credentials shared between the websites.
In the immediate aftermath of the data breach the Attorneys General formed a multistate investigation and found that 23andMe engaged in unreasonable data security practices, including, but not limited to:
* Failing to employ safeguards against credential stuffing attacks, including comparing passwords against blocklists of known breached passwords or requiring multifactor authentication;
* Failing to implement appropriate rate limiting or intrusion prevention;
* Failing to implement logging and monitoring or other tools likely to detect a data breach;
* Failing to appropriately investigate and/or address unusual login patterns, including, for example, a massive spike in login attempts;
* Failing to remediate known vulnerabilities; and
* Failing to properly review and test design features.
In March 2025, 23andMe filed for bankruptcy protection, and states subsequently filed claims related to the data breach investigation. As part of the bankruptcy proceedings, the assets - notably 23andMe's consumer data - were sold to TTAM Research Institute, a non-profit formed by 23andMe founder and former CEO Anne Wojcicki. The terms of the sale included many information and data security requirements that likely would have been included in a settlement with 23andMe had it not filed for bankruptcy. Such terms included enhanced data security requirements, appropriate risk analysis, the addition of an Advisory Board, agreeing to be bound by comprehensive privacy laws without exception, and continuing to offer consumer deletion rights. These terms will make sure that TTAM Research Institute, now reregistered as 23andMe Research Institute, will be a safer custodian of genetic data moving forward.
In addition to general consumer protection and privacy laws, individuals are also protected under Virginia's Genetic Data Privacy law, which requires direct-to-consumer genetic testing companies to "implement and maintain reasonable security procedures and practices to protect a consumer's genetic data against unauthorized access, destruction, use, modification, or disclosure." Virginia Code Sec. 59.1-597(1). The company failed to maintain proper security measures as required by this 2023 law. This settlement is Virginia's first as it relates to the new Genetic Data Privacy law.
Attorney General Jay Jones joined the attorneys general of Alaska, Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, North Carolina, North Dakota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Washington, Wisconsin, and West Virginia in today's settlement.

Attorney General Raul Torrez and USDOJ Secure Nearly $4 Million Settlement for Medicaid Fraud Scheme in New Mexico
Albuquerque, NM - In conjunction with the U.S. Department of Justice's Health Care Fraud Strike Force Program, a judge with the United States District Court for the District of New Mexico has accepted a plea agreement for Dorothea Irving of Farmington.
In the agreement, Irving pled guilty to Conspiracy to Commit Health Care Fraud by filing fraudulentMedicaid claims of $3.9 million in non-emergency medical transportation. In addition to paying the nearly $4 million, Irving faces a maximum of 10 years in prison.
"Medicaid's non-emergency transportation program exists to help New Mexicans who genuinely cannot get to a doctor's appointment on their own," said Attorney General Raul Torrez. "When people entrusted with driving those patients instead invent trips and pocket the money, they're stealing from a program built for our most vulnerable residents. This plea agreement makes clear that healthcare fraud, no matter how it's disguised, will be investigated and prosecuted."
Irving worked between 2020 and 2026 as a driver for a company that provided non-emergency medical transportation - a service that is covered by Medicaid for those who do not have the ability to transport themselves for non-emergency services like routine doctor appointments.
Along with several other individuals at her company, Irving engaged in a multi-year scheme to submit fraudulent claims for purported transportation provided to her and her children. Together with the company, its owner, and other employees and drivers, Irving submitted false trip records claiming that she or her children were the Medicaid beneficiaries who needed transportation, claiming trips that had not occurred. She and other drivers also signed trip forms falsely representing to have driven each other to appointments to disguise the fact that they were driving themselves.
The company used the false trip records to submit millions of dollars in fraudulent claims to New Mexico Medicaid. The claims totaled approximately $3,957,788, approximately $980,901 of which went directly to Irving.

This case was investigated by the NMDOJ's Medicaid Fraud and Elder Abuse Bureau (MFEAB). The New Mexico MFEAB receives 75 percent of its funding from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services under a grant award totaling $3,623,761.71 for federal fiscal year 2026. The remaining 25 percent, totaling $1,207,920.57 for fiscal year 2026, is funded by the State of New Mexico.

AG Davenport Secures Critical Win in Lawsuit to Block Paramount/Warner Bros. Merger
Judge Grants Temporary Restraining Order Halting Merger for Two Weeks
-
Attorney General Jennifer Davenport today announced that the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California granted a temporary restraining order halting the $110 billion merger of Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. (Warner Bros.) and Paramount Skydance Corporation (Paramount).
The temporary restrainingorder halts the merger while the court considers a ruling on a preliminary injunction, which would block the merger for the duration of the litigation. Earlier this month, Attorney General Davenport joined a coalition of 12 attorneys general in filing a lawsuit challenging the unlawful merger, which is expected to result in higher prices, lower content quality, and fewer movies and TV shows.
"Today's order, which temporarily blocks this unlawful merger while our case continues, is a major win for consumers. It is the first step in what I hope will be a total victory for New Jerseyans, who can ill-afford another price hike caused by opportunistic billionaires," said Attorney General Davenport. "Make no mistake: we will continue to stand up in court against corporate monopolists who drive up prices and harm New Jerseyans."
The proposed merger would combine two of Hollywood's five major film distributors and two of the five major basic cable companies, extinguishing competition between Paramount and Warner Bros. and inflicting substantial harm on movie theaters, basic cable distributors and, ultimately, consumers nationwide.
In the United States alone, if allowed to merge, the combined titan would control roughly one-third of theatrical motion pictures, and nearly one-third of basic cable programming.
For more than a century, Warner Bros. and Paramount have stood as independent sources of creativity and competition in the film and television industry. The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District for the Northen District of California, alleges that the merger violates Section 7 of the Clayton Act, which makes clear that mergers that may substantially lessen competition or tend to create a monopoly are illegal.
The attorneys general allege that, if Warner Bros. and Paramount are allowed to merge, the merger would lessen competition in three markets: film distribution, anticipated blockbuster film distribution, and licensing cable TV channels.
Besides New Jersey, the lawsuit includes California, Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, and Washington.

Attorney General Brown Wins Ruling Protecting Billions in Critical Federal Funding
Judge Rules Trump Administration Cannot Subvert Will of Congress Through Obscure Regulation
-
Attorney General Anthony G. Brown announced that a coalition of 24 states won a key ruling declaring that the Trump administration cannot terminate previously issued grants for crucial state programs and services based solely on a post-hoc change in agency priorities.
In her decision,U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani in the District of Massachusetts wrote that five words in U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) regulations - referencing situations where a grant "no longer effectuates ... agency priorities" - do not give federal agencies effectively unfettered authority to revoke grants just because the federal administration claims it is shifting its focus.
"This ruling protects billions of dollars in already awarded federal grants from being cancelled without warning or clear justification," said Attorney General Brown. "My Office will always hold the federal government accountable when it tries to revoke what was already promised merely because its priorities shifted."
Without providing any lawful justification and without any advance warning or explanation, the Trump administration has relied on this regulation to gut funding across the entire federal government. Attorney General Brown and a multistate coalition sued to stop the unprecedented attack. Prior to the second Trump administration, federal agencies never terminated grants merely because the agency's priorities shifted midway through the grant period.
The multistate complaint, filed last year, argued that the Trump administration's decision to invoke the regulation to terminate grants based on their changed agency priorities is unlawful. The lawsuit explained that the regulation does not authorize federal agencies to terminate grants based on changes in agency preferences that occur after a grant is awarded. The lawsuit also noted the importance of obtaining clarity regarding the scope of this regulation, as states collectively accept hundreds of billions of dollars a year that are at risk of termination pursuant to this regulation.
Judge Talwani granted the states a declaratory judgment that the regulations do not authorize the Trump administration to terminate funding that has already been awarded based on a subsequent change in an agency's priorities.
Nationwide, the indiscriminate cuts have caused programmatic chaos and uncertainty for grantees, including those working to combat violent crime, conduct lifesaving medical and scientific research, educate students, protect clean drinking water, safeguard public health, address food insecurity, and much more.
Joining Attorney General Brown in the lawsuit were the attorneys general of Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Hawaii, Illinois, Massachusetts, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Wisconsin, as well as the governors of Kansas, Kentucky, and Pennsylvania.

Delaware Supreme Court upholds Attorney General's hearing authority in landmark opinion
In a win for the Delaware Department of Justice's Investor Protection Unit, the Delaware Supreme Court has affirmed the Superior Court's dismissal in Swan Energy, Inc., Brandon Davis, John Schiffner, and Cody Davis v. Investor Protection Unit of the Delaware Department of Justice.
The Investor Protection Unit ("Unit") of the Delaware Department of Justice initiated an administrative enforcementaction in 2020 against Swan Energy, Inc. and four individuals. The Unit alleged that the respondents operated a long running scheme to induce investors--including those in Delaware--to purchase risky, unregistered oil, gas, and mining securities. Several years into the administrative proceeding, the plaintiffs filed a separate court action seeking a declaration that the Unit's administrative proceeding violated their constitutional rights to a jury trial and due process. The Superior Court dismissed their lawsuit, and the Delaware Supreme Court has now affirmed that dismissal, concluding that the Delaware Securities Act's administrative enforcement framework is constitutional and does not violate jury trial or due process rights.
In its opinion, the Supreme Court held that enforcement actions initiated by the Investor Protection Unit of the Delaware Department of Justice may proceed administratively and would not require a jury trial. The Court also rejected the plaintiffs' due process claim, finding it unripe as applied and insufficiently supported as a facial challenge, noting the absence of any statutory or regulatory defect applicable across all IPU proceedings.
"The Delaware Supreme Court's decision reinforces the integrity and fairness of Delaware's investor protection process," said Attorney General Kathy Jennings. "The Investor Protection Unit's mission is to safeguard the investing public from fraud and protect the integrity of our markets. The Supreme Court's ruling affirms that our processes honor both the law and the constitutional rights of all parties involved."
The judgment of the Superior Court is affirmed in full and the matter is expected to be remanded to DOJ's Presiding Officer for further proceedings consistent with the Supreme Court's opinion.

Attorney General Mayes today announced that a coalition of 24 states won a key ruling Friday declaring that the Trump Administration illegally misused its regulatory authority to unlawfully pull billions of dollars in federal funding that Congress had set aside for crucial state programs and services.
In her decision, U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani in the District of Massachusettswrote that five words in U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) regulations-- referencing situations where a grant "no longer effectuates ... agency priorities"--did not silently give federal agencies effectively unfettered authority to revoke grants nationwide just because the federal administration claims it is shifting its focus.
"Arizonans depend on federal funding for everything from clean drinking water to lifesaving medical research, and the Trump Administration has no legal authority to rip that funding away on a whim," said Attorney General Mayes. "This ruling makes clear that the President cannot use a five-word regulatory loophole to override Congress and cut off billions of dollars that our state has already been promised. My office will continue fighting to protect Arizona's funding and hold this Administration accountable when it breaks the law."
Without providing any lawful justification and without any advance warning or explanation, the Trump Administration relied on this regulation to gut funding across the entire federal government. A multistate coalition led by New Jersey, Massachusetts, and New York sued to stop the unprecedented attack. Prior to the second Trump Administration, federal agencies never terminated grants merely because the agency's priorities shifted midway through the grant period.
The multistate complaint, filed last year, argued that the Trump Administration's decision to invoke the regulation to terminate grants based on their changed agency priorities is unlawful.

The lawsuit also noted the importance of obtaining clarity regarding the scope of this regulation, as states collectively accept hundreds of billions of dollars a year that are at risk of termination pursuant to this regulation.
Judge Talwani granted the states a declaratory judgment that the OMB regulation and the agencies' regulations do not independently authorize the Trump Administration to terminate funding based on agency priorities that were only identified after the grant was awarded.
Nationwide, the indiscriminate cuts have caused programmatic chaos and uncertainty for grantees, including those working to combat violent crime, conduct lifesaving medical and scientific research, educate students, protect clean drinking water, safeguard public health, address food insecurity, and much more.
AG Mayes joins the attorneys general of New Jersey, Massachusetts, and New York who led the case, and they were also joined by the attorneys general of California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Wisconsin, as well as the governors of Kansas, Kentucky, and Pennsylvania.

Attorney General Mayes today issued the following statement after the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California granted the states' request for a temporary restraining order halting the merger of Warner Bros.

The temporary restraining order halts the merger while the court considers aruling on a preliminary injunction, which would block the merger for the duration of the litigation.
Last week, Attorney General Mayes joined a coalition of 12 attorneys general in filing a lawsuit challenging the unlawful merger, which is expected to result in higher prices, lower content quality, and fewer movies and TV shows.
"This merger violates federal law and will drive up prices for Arizonans and could lead to job losses across our state," said Attorney General Mayes. "I'm grateful the court issued a TRO so the issues surrounding this unlawful mega-merger can be properly adjudicated."

BACKGROUND
For more than a century, Warner Bros. and Paramount have stood astride the film and television industry as independent sources of creativity and competition. The proposed $110 billion merger -- the largest in Hollywood history -- would combine two of Hollywood's five major film distributors and two of the five major owners of basic cable channels, extinguishing competition between Paramount and Warner Bros., and inflicting substantial harm on movie theaters, basic cable distributors, and ultimately, audiences nationwide.
The lawsuit alleges that the merger violates Section 7 of the Clayton Act, which holds that mergers that may substantially lessen competition or tend to create a monopoly are illegal. The attorneys general allege that, if Warner Bros. and Paramount are allowed to merge, it would lessen competition in three markets: film distribution, anticipated blockbuster film distribution, and cable TV.
Currently, Paramount and Warner Bros. compete fiercely to create and distribute new, different, and innovative film and television content to American viewers. Movie theaters and TV distributors rely on competition between Paramount and Warner Bros. to incentivize creativity and secure competitive prices and terms for themselves and for audiences. TV distributors negotiate with Paramount, Warner Bros. and other cable channel owners to acquire the rights to distribute that content to subscribers. Alternatives are essential in these negotiations as is the leverage that each entertainment company provides to TV distributors and movie theaters. For example, if Paramount insists on onerous financial terms, its negotiating partner can gain leverage by turning to Warner Bros. and vice versa. Paramount's proposed acquisition of Warner Bros. will end this competition, threatening viewers with higher prices, the decline of theatrical exhibition of films, and a reduction in the variety, quality, and amount of content distributed.
