Dec 11 (Reuters) - Doughnut chain Krispy Kreme DNUT.O
said on Wednesday that unauthorized activity on a portion of its
information technology systems has disrupted certain operations,
including online ordering in the United States.
Shares of the company were down about 2% in premarket
trading.
After being notified of the incident on Nov. 29, the company
has initiated an investigation and is working with external
cybersecurity experts to mitigate the impact, it said in a
regulatory filing.
Krispy Kreme said the expected costs related to the
incident, including the loss of revenue from digital sales, are
"reasonably likely to have a material impact" on its results of
operations.
The company's shops globally are open and consumers are able
to place in-person orders, it said.
