Krispy Kreme’s Glazed Data Breach: Over 161,000 Identities at Risk!
Krispy Kreme’s data breach in 2024 affected over 161,000 people, including employees and their families, thanks to a ransomware attack. The Play ransomware group claimed responsibility, leaking 184 Gb of data. The donut chain is now serving up notification letters, but this isn’t the kind of hole-in-one they were aiming for.
Hot Take:
When Krispy Kreme said they were going to “glaze” their competition, they probably didn’t mean giving hackers a sweet deal on 184 Gb of data! Who knew a donut shop could be such a hot spot for cybercriminals? Maybe they should have added “cyber sprinkles” to their security measures!
Key Points:
- Krispy Kreme hit by ransomware attack in late 2024, affecting over 161,000 individuals.
- The Play ransomware group claimed responsibility, stealing 184 Gb of sensitive data.
- Notification letters sent to current and former employees and their families.
- Texas Attorney General informed, with nearly 7,000 Texans impacted.
- Data compromised includes everything but your grandma’s cookie recipe!
