Krispy Kreme data breach settlement: How to claim your money

Krispy Kreme employees affected by a Nov. 2024 company data breach can still claim their portion of a $1.6 million pie. The class action lawsuit was brought forth by impacted individuals after their personal information — including names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, biometric data, and financial account credentials — was exposed in a 2024 cyberattack targeting the company's employee data. Krispy Kreme disclosed the breach in December 2024 and settled the class action case in March. But the June deadline to claim your money is fast approaching. The data breach impacted 161,000 current and former Krispy Kreme employees; individuals whose information was exposed should have received a notice from the company via email. If you believe you were affected but didn't receive an alert, you can contact the settlement administrator at (877) 239-1879. The deadline to file a claim online or by mail is June 22. Settlement class members can either submit an itemized claim form for up to $3,500 in losses, or accept a $75 single time payment. If you want to opt out of the settlement, you have until June 6 to decline either online or by mail. Want to learn more about getting the best ou
