In November 2024, Krispy Kreme reported a data breach impacting 161,676 individuals, with an unsettling delay in notification. Cyber experts, including Chris Hauk, criticized the seven-month gap before affected individuals were informed, emphasizing the risks posed during this time. Hauk recommended that the company offer credit monitoring services and suggested that those impacted remain vigilant against potential phishing attacks. This incident highlights the ongoing challenges of data security and the importance of timely communication to protect consumer trust.
"It is concerning that it has taken Krispy Kreme this long to acknowledge the data breach and inform the individuals affected by the breach."
"Affected individuals need to keep an eye on their accounts and stay alert for any phishing texts, emails, or phone calls from bad actors attempting to use the harvested data."
