A Krispy Kreme data breach may qualify thousands of Americans for payouts over $3,000
A $1.6 million settlement remains available for employees affected by a November 2024 data breach. A cyberattack compromised personal information for over 160,000 current and former employees, including names, phone numbers, dates of birth, Social Security information, and financial account details. Krispy Kreme disclosed the breach in December 2024, and preliminary settlement approval was reached in March. Eligible class members must be U.S. residents and must have received an email notice about the incident. Claims must be submitted by June 22. Payments include a single $75 option or an itemized claim form for up to $3,500 with supporting proof. Identity monitoring services were also offered, and class members may opt out before June 6 to preserve the right to sue.
