Who sued Comcast over the Xfinity breach, and who can still file
Last checked July 12, 2026
Comcast agreed to a $117.5 million settlement in Hasson v. Comcast Cable Communications, LLC, the class action over the October 2023 Xfinity breach. The settlement administrator is taking claims through September 14, 2026 from customers who received a breach notice.
The case grew out of four days in October 2023. Between October 16 and October 19, attackers used a flaw in Citrix software to get into Xfinity's internal systems. Comcast told the public on December 18, 2023, and put the count of exposed customers at roughly 35 to 36 million.
Below: what the suit alleged, where the court process stands, and what happens once you file.
What the Hasson complaint accused Comcast of
The plaintiffs said Comcast ran Xfinity without adequate cybersecurity safeguards, then waited too long to tell affected customers. The exposed records included usernames, hashed passwords, names, contact details, and for some people partial Social Security numbers plus account security questions and answers.
Comcast denied wrongdoing but settled. The fund is non-reversionary, so unclaimed money stays with the class.
Where the case stands
- A final approval hearing was scheduled for August 5, 2026 at the James A. Byrne U.S. Courthouse in Philadelphia.
- Claims stay open through September 14, 2026 regardless of that hearing.
- You need the Class Member ID printed on the breach notice Comcast sent around December 18, 2023. If you lost it, the claim site has a Need Help Logging In link that recovers the ID.
Who counts as a class member
You live in the United States or its territories, and Comcast sent you an individual notice that your information was in the October 2023 breach. Notice is the trigger. Being an Xfinity customer at the time does not by itself put you in the class.
What happens after you file
The administrator runs ComcastBreachSettlement.com. You pick one benefit on the form: a $50 payment with no paperwork, reimbursement of documented losses up to $10,000, or up to $150 for time spent at $25 an hour with a short declaration. Every class member also gets three years of Experian IdentityWorks whether or not they file.
After submission you get a confirmation number. Keep it. Payments go out only after final approval becomes effective, so expect a wait of months. Filing on the administrator site is free. Payout, a free settlement-finder app, lists this case too and never takes a share of a payment.
