Court approves $117.5 million Comcast data breach settlement
Responsible attorney: Lou Schwartz, Schwartz & Associates, PC, Atlanta, Georgia. intake@snalawyers.com
Judge John Younge of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania granted final approval to a $117.5 million settlement resolving claims over an October 2023 data security incident involving Comcast customers' personal information, which press reports link to the Citrix Bleed vulnerability. The class consists of people who were sent breach notices on or about December 18, 2023.
Why it matters. The settlement website lists a September 14, 2026 claim deadline; payments to class members with valid claims depend on the claims review and any appeals.
Update, Sept. 29, 2026: The claim deadline passed on Sept. 14, 2026. The settlement website reports the Court approved the settlement on Aug. 20, 2026 and gives no payment date yet.
