Xfinity Data Breach:
Legal Investigation
Attorneys working with ClassAction.org are looking into whether legal action can be taken in light of the Xfinity data breach.
Around December 18, 2023, Comcast Cable Communications LLC, which does business as Xfinity, began informing customers via online notices and emails of a data security incident that affected over 35 million individuals. The breach occurred due to a vulnerability in a software product provided to Xfinity by cloud computing company Citrix.
Xfinity determined that unauthorized access to its internal systems occurred between October 16 and October 19, 2023, and that customers’ personal information, including usernames and hashed passwords, was likely acquired. Additionally, some customers may have had their names, contact information, partial Social Security numbers, dates of birth, and secret questions and answers compromised.
The attorneys are now gathering Xfinity customers to take legal action against Comcast via mass arbitration, which is different from a class action lawsuit.
If your information was exposed in the breach, you may be entitled to hundreds of dollars.
