"The breach involved a third party gaining access to customers' personal information, leading to a lawsuit filed after the October 2023 cyberattack. Plaintiffs alleged that Comcast failed to adequately protect user data, citing insufficient security measures."
"Eligible claimants can document financial losses tied to the breach, such as fraud or identity theft, and may receive reimbursements of up to $10,000, including costs for credit monitoring and banking fees."
"Individuals without documentation can opt for an alternative payment of an estimated $50, while the settlement also includes identity protection benefits, allowing class members to enroll in identity defense and restoration services."
Comcast has agreed to a $117.5 million settlement following a cybersecurity breach in October 2023 that exposed sensitive customer information. The lawsuit, Hasson v. Comcast Cable Communications LLC, claims Comcast inadequately protected user data. Affected customers were notified in December 2023, with over 30 million potentially impacted. Eligible claimants can receive reimbursements for documented financial losses up to $10,000, compensation for time spent addressing issues, and identity protection benefits, including credit monitoring services.
