Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner and its client Mondelez Global have agreed to pay $750,000 to settle claims by Mondelez employees whose private information may have been compromised in a hack of the law firm’s network.
A class of about 53,000 current and former Mondelez employees asked U.S. District Judge Jorge L. Alonso to preliminarily approve the settlement in an Oct. 4 memorandum of law.
Reuters and Law360 have coverage.
Attorney fees of up to $250,000 for class counsel would come from the settlement fund. Individual plaintiffs could seek money for time spent responding to the breach, reimbursement of up to $7,000 for out-of-pocket losses and free credit monitoring. Class members could elect instead to seek a pro rata cash payment from the settlement fund.
Bryan Cave and Mondelez have both implemented security improvements to protect against another security breach, the plaintiffs said in the request.
