COMCAST has agreed a $117.5 million settlement to resolve 24 class action lawsuits arising from a 2023 Citrix Bleed data breach that potentially affected over 30 million former and current customers, according to DataBreaches[.]Net.
A settlement received preliminary approval from a federal judge in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania last week, with impacted customers set to receive three years of financial monitoring and identity‑theft protection, and a choice between reimbursed expenses up to $10,000 or a $50 cash payment if the terms gain final approval.
Comcast did not oppose the request for preliminary approval of the agreement, but noted in court records that it does not agree with the facts as told by the customers’ representatives and denies all liability, a position it reiterated in the filings.
