Case note

Mondelez reported that NotPetya affected a significant portion of its global sales, distribution and financial networks. Business-continuity measures restored operations, but some revenue was permanently lost and incremental costs were recorded.

The observation is included independently inside the NotPetya cluster. That structure preserves company-specific outcomes without pretending that three firms exposed to the same campaign are three unrelated events.
