Heaven forbid they ran off with recipes for donuts.
Doughnut slinger Krispy Kreme has admitted to an attack that has left many customers unable to order online. According to a mandatory 8-K filing [PDF], on November 29, the biz was notified regarding unauthorized access to a portion of its IT systems. Its security team waddled into action and sprinkled in support from "leading …
Do they do jam doughnuts? Or do they only sell "donuts"? I though they only sold "krispy", (ie might by a little crispy, but spelled differently so they don't get sued if it's not crispy) and might have some fake "kreme" filling (also spelled differently because it sure as shit ain't cream or even dairy based)
If you want a crispy doughnut, you buy it straight from the person making them in a deep fryer (allowing a short cooling off period, of course) :-)
"The most amazing part of this story is finding out Krispy Kreme is still in business."
I find their doughnuts quite tasty, but it's one of the things I've cut out of my diet and will only get one a couple of times a year. I won't go out of my way to pick a brand.
Guessing this is a joke? (On mobile can't see icons) Have seen news of many brands in trouble but not this one. Did a search and only see mentioned closing about a dozen stores each in 2022 and seems like 2024 too, a rounding error compared to the 1400 Wikipedia says they have.
The only Kristy Kreme newr me closed maybe 5 years ago. Though multiple supermarkets carry their donuts near me and I think they claim are fresh daily. I'm not picky and like most any standard flavor donut including Krispy Kreme, though have never been fond of their classic "airy" texture. Flavor is fine though. My favorite donuts are old fashioned and apple fritter. Now that I said tgat probably going to get some this morning.
Now if you said you're surprised to hear Quiznos is still in business that'd make a lot of sense by contrast.
What happens if you're a regular employee and manglement are doing their best to bury it under the carpet and never speak of it again? What are you supposed to do if nobody in the company wants to confirm or deny what's happened to your name, address, DOB, social security number, tax number, or bank account details?
Lock your credit reports.
I did that the day Equifax was hacked. Looks like in 2017. It's not perfect but goes a long way towards making yourself a less easy target. I've had to unlock my credit reports on just a few occasions in the years since and I believe all 3 major credit reporting companies systems are setup so you can unlock for a short period of time then auto lock again. There is no cost for this service, but in trying to find the service (for free anyway) you'll probably have to navigate past their advertising for their subscription services.
Will have to try then. So far, the best I've had in Vancouver are the ones at Cartems. Pricey, but quite a difference.
IIRC after the whole runup in the 00s when Krispy Kreme first IPOed and then came to Canada - you'd have thought it was the Second Coming - when I finally tried them I was rather underwhelmed by the actual product. A tad better than Dunkin or Tim Horton's but nothing to write home about.
