Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale is here — and it’s a shopper’s frenzy. Cardholders got early access, but the sale opened to all on July 18, and the hottest deals are vanishing fast.

Alabama Gets $260K from 23andMe Settlement | Birmingham News

Alabama’s getting $260,817 from a major 23andMe data breach settlement — part of an $18 million payout after 42 states teamed up to hold the genetic testing giant accountable. The breach exposed millions, including nearly 70,000 Alabamians, and led to a $46.75 million class-action payout for consumers. Despite 23andMe’s bankruptcy, its data was sold to a nonprofit now bound by stricter privacy rules. This case underscores the urgent need for companies to protect sensitive genetic info — and Alabama’s AG is determined to ensure such breaches never happen again.
