People could claim up to $3,500 in Krispy Kreme's $1.6 million data breach settlement

Krispy Kreme reaches a $1.616 million data-security settlement to resolve a November 2024 breach affecting about 161,000 current and former employees. The Maine Attorney General notes 21 state residents were impacted, and the company denies wrongdoing. Eligible claimants could receive up to $3,500, with documented losses potentially increasing the payout; otherwise, a $75 base is offered, plus one year of free credit monitoring. Claims must be filed by June 22, 2026, and exclusion requests by June 6, 2026, via KrispyKremeDataSecuritySettlement or 1-877-239-1879. A final court hearing will occur around July 6, 2026, and participants can exclude themselves to pursue separate litigation.
