Comcast (Xfinity) Data Breach Settlement
File your claim on the official site → Takes you to Kroll Settlement Administration LLC — filing is free.
What happened
An October 2023 cyberattack on Comcast's Xfinity systems exposed customers' personal information; Comcast sent breach notices on or around December 18, 2023. Comcast agreed to a $117.5 million settlement without admitting wrongdoing.
Who qualifies
People whose personal information was compromised in the October 2023 Xfinity data breach (generally those sent the December 2023 breach notice). An ID Look Up tool on the settlement site can confirm eligibility.
How much you could get
Alternative cash payment estimated at $50 (pro rata adjustable); up to $10,000 combined for documented out-of-pocket losses and lost time ($30/hr, up to 5 hours); 3 years of CyEx identity protection
Rule of thumb: individual payouts shrink as more people file. Funds first pay attorneys' fees and costs (typically 25–35%), then split the rest among valid claims.
Key dates
| Proof required | none for the ~$50 alternative cash payment; documentation required for out-of-pocket loss claims |
|---|---|
| Claim deadline | 2026-09-14 |
| Opt-out / exclusion deadline | 2026-07-01 |
| Final approval hearing | 2026-08-05 |
| Court | E.D. Pa. — 2:23-cv-05039-JMY |

Worth knowing
Opt-out/objection deadline (July 1, 2026) has already passed. Identity protection enrollment is automatic via code; payments issue after the August 5, 2026 final approval hearing and any appeals. Alternative cash payment is pro rata and may shrink if claims are heavy.
