Comcast is settling claims from a 2023 data breach for $117.5 million after a federal judge gave final approval to the class-action agreement.<\/p>\n

The settlement covers up to 31.7 million potential class members and resolves allegations stemming from the intrusion, reports<\/a> Insurance Journal.<\/p>\n

Hackers exploited the Citrix Bleed vulnerability in software Comcast used for remote access between October 16 and October 19, 2023, with affected customers notified two months later. The plaintiffs alleged that Comcast did not apply Citrix\u2019s security patch within a reasonable timeframe, while Citrix failed to properly test and oversee its NetScaler software. They argued that the companies\u2019 actions left class members vulnerable to identity theft, fraudulent activity and the continued threat of financial harm.<\/p>\n

Exposed data included names, contact details, dates of birth, partial Social Security numbers, and in some cases full Social Security numbers and driver\u2019s license numbers.<\/p>\n

Class members can seek up to $10,000 each for documented losses or opt for a $50 flat payment along with free credit monitoring.<\/p>\n

The court approved $31.7 million in attorneys\u2019 fees representing 27% of the fund, with the agreement funded entirely by Comcast and releasing both firms from related claims.<\/p>\n

Judge John Younge of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania addressed the matter in his ruling, saying the case \u201cis inherently complex\u201d due to \u201cthe difficulty of proving class-wide damages\u201d and \u201cissues about the duty of care that a defendant owes in connection with personal information.\u201d<\/p>\n
