A $117.5 million class action settlement has been reached in Hasson v. Comcast Cable Communications, LLC, Case No. 2:23-cv-05039-JMY, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. The settlement resolves claims tied to a cybersecurity incident in October 2023 in which attackers gained unauthorized access to Comcast customer data between October 16 and October 19, 2023.Comcast publicly disclosed the breach on December 18, 2023 and sent individual notices to affected customers. Approximately 36 million Xfinity customers were impacted. Comcast denies all wrongdoing and liability.
Who Qualifies for the Comcast Settlement?
You are a Settlement Class Member if you reside in the United States or its territories and received an individual data breach notification from Comcast around December 18, 2023, informing you that your personal information may have been compromised.If you received that notice by email or mail, you are eligible to file a claim.
How Much Can You Get from the Comcast Settlement?
There are three categories of benefits available:1. Alternative Cash Payment — Estimated $50
All eligible class members can file for a direct cash payment estimated at $50, subject to pro rata adjustment based on the number of claims filed. No proof of losses is required, but you will need to verify your identity using the Class Member ID from the data breach notice Comcast sent you around December 2023. If you no longer have your notice, contact the settlement administrator through the official settlement website.
2. Out-of-Pocket Losses — Up to $10,000

• Credit freeze placement or removal fees
• Credit monitoring or identity theft products purchased after October 16, 2023
• Notary, postage, mileage, and other miscellaneous costs
You must provide reasonable documentation such as bank statements, receipts, or invoices. Self-prepared documents alone are not sufficient.
