What is the Comcast Class Action About?

The settlement is now open for claims at comcastbreachsettlement.com, with a claim filing deadline of August 14, 2026.The class action lawsuit alleged that hackers exploited a vulnerability and accessed certain Comcast internal systems between October 16 and October 19, 2023, and that information was acquired before the incident was fully mitigated. Comcast denies wrongdoing but agreed to the $117.5 million settlement to resolve the case.
