In April 2020, Ambry Genetics — a California-based genetic testing lab — announced an email security breach had compromised the information of hundreds of thousands of patients. The hackers reportedly gained access to protected health information and other identifiers through an employee’s email account.

Affected patients took legal action against Ambry, arguing the company had a duty to protect their information and failed to do so. Plaintiffs in the consolidated class action lawsuit claim Ambry Genetics could have prevented the data breach through reasonable cyber security measures such as employee training.

Ambry hasn’t admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to a $12.25 million class action settlement to resolve these allegations.
