Comcast $117 Million Settlement Over 2023 Data Breach
A proposed settlement has been reached with Comcast in a class action lawsuit regarding a cybersecurity incident that occurred in October 2023. During that incident, a third-party gained unauthorized access to customers’ personal information.
You are included in this settlement if you were sent a notice of the data breach on or around December 18, 2023 informing you that your personal information may have been compromised.
The proposed settlement requires Comcast to establish a Settlement Fund of $117,500,000 to cover cash payments to Settlement Class Members. Those payments include reimbursement for documented out-of-pocket losses and lost time, and the cost of Identity Defense Services and Restoration Services.
Class members can choose to file claims for out-of-pocket losses and lost time, which can be up to $10,000 if you can provide proof. Or, you can instead request an Alternative Cash Payment, estimated in the amount of $50 subject to pro rata adjustment.
To file claim for an Alternative Cash Payment, you must submit a valid Claim Form by August 14, 2026. You can see full details and file a claim here.
