Individuals affected by a Krispy Kreme data breach could be eligible to receive $3,500 as part of a settlement, but time to file a claim is running out.
The donut chain agreed to a $1.62 million claim to resolve a November 2024 data breach that allegedly exposed sensitive information. The breach may have compromised names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers and financial account information. Krispy Kreme denies any wrongdoing.
According to the settlement website, eligible class members are U.S. residents who received a notice that their personal information may have been impacted. Without providing documentation, class members can receive a cash payment of $75.
However, those who submit documentation showing losses related to fraud or identity theft as a result of the breach can receive up to $3,500.
Those deemed eligible will also receive a year of complimentary credit monitoring, with an activation code included in their claim notice.
Anyone eligible to file a claim only has weeks left; the deadline is June 26. The last day to object or opt out is June 6.
