"Financial information, such as account information or credit card numbers, were not involved in this incident," the notification added [Per usual, Mondelez is offering free credit monitoring services to anyone whose data may have been compromised for 24 months. Neither Bryan Cave nor Mondelez, which also owns Sour Patch Kids and Swedish Fish candy, Chips Ahoy, Triscuit and Wheat Thins crackers, and dozens of other brands, declined to answer's specific inquiries, including how the crooks broke into the law firm's network, how much data they stole, and whether they demanded a ransom to delete the stolen goods.

Upon learning of the issue, we immediately took measures to contain the incident with the assistance of a leading forensics firm, coordinated with law enforcement and are communicating with our affected stakeholders. We remain able and focused on continuing to serve our clients as we resolve this matter.
