Media and tech giant Comcast is preparing to pay more than $100 million to settle a series of lawsuits over a massive data breach.<\/p>\n

The breach happened back in 2023, when \u201cunauthorized third parties\u201d accessed Comcast\u2019s internal network.<\/p>\n

In total, 31.6 million customers are affected, with usernames and passwords, names, contact information, dates of birth and the last four digits of Social Security numbers at risk.<\/p>\n

Now, a federal judge in Pennsylvania has granted<\/a> preliminary approval to a class action settlement and scheduled a final approval hearing for July 7th.<\/p>\n

Affected current and former customers can either receive free financial, credit monitoring and identity theft protection and a reimbursement of up to $10,000 for out-of-pocket losses, or they can receive a cash payment of $50.<\/p>\n

Comcast has released a statement on the settlement, which consolidates and resolves 24 cases related to the breach.<\/p>\n

\u201cThough we disagree with the claims, this settlement reflects our commitment to resolving this matter efficiently while continuing to prioritize the security and privacy of our customers.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
