What is the Comcast Class Action About?
You may be part of a new $117,500,000 open class action settlement reached with Comcast over allegations tied to an October 2023 cybersecurity incident that may have exposed customers’ personal information.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 likely acquired before the incident was fully mitigated. Comcast denies wrongdoing, and the Court must still approve the proposed settlement before any benefits are paid. Stay tuned by bookmarking this page.
What is the Total Settlement Amount?
The class action settlement would require Comcast to establish a $117,500,000 Settlement Fund. According to the notice language in the case, the fund is intended to cover cash payments, reimbursement for certain documented losses and lost time (if approved), and the cost of identity defense and restoration services, along with notice and administration costs and any Court-approved attorneys’ fees, expenses, and service awards.Who Is Included?
You are included if Comcast sent you a data breach notice around December 18, 2023, stating that your personal information may have been compromised in the October 2023 incident. The estimate is the Comcast data breach impacted about 36 million people nationwide, making it one of the largest consumer data breaches reported in recent years, right after the AT&T data breach open class action which allegedly affected 109 million customers.How Much Can I Get Paid?
The proposed settlement describes a fund that may provide cash payments to class members and reimbursement for certain documented out-of-pocket losses and lost time, subject to claim rules and Court approval.Because this is presented as a proposed settlement, the exact payout amounts and any caps, tiers, or pro rata reductions may depend on how many valid claims are filed, what the Court approves for fees and costs, and the final claim structure released by the settlement administrator.
How Do I File a Claim
Claim instructions are typically provided through an official settlement website and a claim form (online and sometimes paper). If the Court grants preliminary approval, the settlement administrator usually launches a website with:• Online claim form access, if claims are part of the settlement
• A long-form notice explaining benefits, deadlines, and exclusions
• Administrator contact information for questions or mailing requests
As of this update, the claim website and step-by-step claim instructions should be confirmed from the official settlement notice materials in the case record.
What is the Claim Form Deadline?
The claim deadline has not been confirmed in the materials provided here. If the settlement is approved to move forward, the Court’s preliminary approval order and the official settlement notice will list the exact claim deadline.What are the Important Dates?
These dates should be confirmed from the official settlement notice and Court orders once it is made available. Stay tuned for updates here on OpenClassActions:• Claim Form Deadline: TBD

When is the class action settlement payment date?
Payment timing in most class action settlements depends on Court approval, the completion of the claims process, and any appeals. If the settlement receives final approval and becomes effective, payments are often issued weeks to months after the effective date, depending on the administrator’s timeline.Is Proof Required to File a Claim?
Proof requirements depend on the final claim structure. Some data breach settlements allow basic claims without documentation for certain benefits, while reimbursement categories often require documentation such as bank records, receipts, or proof of time spent.The claim form instructions (once published) should clearly explain what documentation is required for each benefit category.
When Will Claim Form Be Available?
If the Court grants preliminary approval and the notice program begins, the claim form is usually made available during the notice period on the official settlement website. This is when the administrator typically posts the long-form notice, claim form, and FAQ.How Many People are Affected?
The consolidated complaint and related public filings in the litigation allege that the incident impacted approximately 36 million Xfinity customers.When Will this Class Action Be Certified?
Settlement class certification typically happens at the preliminary approval stage, when the Court conditionally certifies a settlement class for notice purposes, and then again at final approval if the settlement is approved.If the Court does not certify the settlement class, the proposed settlement cannot move forward in its current form.
What are the Odds This Class Action is Settled?
A proposed settlement indicates the parties have reached an agreement in principle or a finalized settlement agreement that still requires Court approval. Approval is not automatic, and the Court can require changes, deny approval, or request additional information.In many class actions, once a proposed settlement is filed, the next major milestone is the Court’s preliminary approval decision.
What is the Anticipated Settlement Amount?
The proposed settlement fund described in the notice is $117,500,000, subject to Court approval and any modifications ordered by the Court.How much will Each Class Action Claimant be Paid?
Per-person payments are not confirmed here. In many settlements, cash payments can be pro rata and depend on the number of valid claims, the net settlement fund after Court-approved deductions, and whether the settlement uses tiers (for example, documented losses versus base payments).What is Next?
If the Court grants preliminary approval, the settlement administrator will usually begin sending notice to potential class members and publishing an official settlement website with claim instructions.After notice is disseminated, class members typically have a set period to submit claims (if applicable), opt out, or object. The Court then holds a final approval hearing to decide whether to grant final approval.
If the Court grants final approval and the settlement becomes effective (including the resolution of any appeals), the administrator will process claims and distribute benefits according to the approved plan.
