Some eligible for up to $3,500 in Krispy Kreme data breach settlement
Eligible U.S. residents can claim $75 or up to $3,500, and approved class members will also receive one year of credit monitoring.
- Krispy Kreme agreed to a $1.6 million settlement following a 2024 data breach affecting approximately 161,000 current and former employees, offering claimants either $75 or up to $3,500 with documented losses.
