Comcast $117.5 Million Data Breach Settlement: Who Qualifies and How to File
Last updated: July 8, 2026
Comcast agreed to pay $117.5 million to settle a class action over the October 2023 data breach that exposed customer information. Affected customers who received a breach notice from Comcast in December 2023 can file a claim — with payments of up to $10,000 for documented out-of-pocket losses. The claim deadline is August 14, 2026.
The lawsuit alleged Comcast failed to safeguard customer data, maintained inadequate security, and improperly notified affected individuals, violating the federal Cable Act and state consumer statutes. Claims require the class member ID from your settlement notice, and loss claims need supporting documentation.
