Krispy Kreme Inc. said a cybersecurity incident had disrupted some of its operations, including online ordering in parts of the US.

The company said in a regulatory filing Wednesday that it was notified on Nov. 29 of unauthorized activity in parts of its IT systems and immediately began an investigation. The company’s stores remain open and customers are able to place orders in person, the company said. But Krispy Kreme is experiencing “certain operational disruptions, including with online ordering in parts of the United States,” according to the filing.
