Illinois Judge Scales Back Class Action Claims Against Mondelez and BCLP, Negligence Issues Persist


An Illinois federal judge has reduced the majority of claims in data privacy class actions initiated by Mondelez workers against their employer and Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner LLP (BCLP). These claims arose following a 2023 data breach incident. Despite the curtailed claims, questions about negligence remain central to the legal proceedings. The judge’s decision comes amid ongoing concerns, though no current evidence suggests that personal information affected by the breach is being circulated on the “dark web.” Further details on this development can be found in the original report by Law360.
