America is going nuts over the mysterious doughnut shortage | Gravitas

<p><meta charset="utf-8" />Krispy Kreme, a well-known United States-based doughnut chain, confirmed on Wednesday (Dec 11) that it was targeted by a cyberattack, disrupting its online systems. Since the security breach, customers across the US have faced issues placing online orders. The cyberattack, which took place in late November, was only made public this week.</p>

<h2 dir="ltr"><strong>Cyberattack disrupts online ordering across&nbsp;US</strong></h2>

<p dir="ltr">The company disclosed details of the breach in a filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), warning it could have a "material impact" on its operations, although physical stores remain unaffected.</p>

<p dir="ltr">"We're experiencing operational disruptions due to a cybersecurity incident, including with online ordering in parts of the United States," the company stated on its website. "We know this is an inconvenience and are working diligently to resolve the issue."</p>

<p dir="ltr">Krispy Kreme also said that it&nbsp;acted quickly to investigate and contain the breach. "We, along with cybersecurity experts, continue to work diligently to respond to and mitigate the impact, including the restoration of online ordering," the company added.</p>

<p dir="ltr">The cyberattack against Krispy Kreme reflects a broader trend in 2024, with security breaches causing significant disruptions to key sectors, including hospitals and transportation networks. "The proliferation of cyberattacks in 2024 shows that hackers are willing to target anything and everything," said Spencer Starkey from cybersecurity firm SonicWall. "It’s vital every business has a robust roadmap in place to respond to attacks."</p>

<h2 dir="ltr"><strong>Social media reaction</strong></h2>

<p dir="ltr">Despite the breach’s severity, social media has responded with humour. One user joked, "Anyone messing with Krispy Kreme should be jailed for life." Another quipped, "Cybercriminals, you've gone too far this time."</p>

Krispy Kreme confirms cybersecurity breach, online ordering disrupted across US

What does self-care mean to you? It could be scented candles, bubble baths, or perhaps a large box of doughnuts. But can all that really take your troubles away? Is it time to dig deeper and reconsider your self-care rituals?

Gravitas: Throw away expensive products, faux self-care won't solve your problems

<p>The image of a mysterious doughnut-shaped rock was captured on the surface of the red planet by the Mars rover Perseverance. The Perseverance rover, which was launched in July 2020, has been exploring the 28-mile-wide (45-kilometre-wide) Jezero Crater of the planet and looking for ancient microbial life's signs, as per NASA.<br />
<br />
Samples of broken rock and&nbsp;soil (called regolith) and rock are being collected by the rover which are likely to be sent back to Earth to be used in future missions to Mars.<br />
<br />
The “doughnut” present on the surface of Mars is one of the latest objects which was captured about 100 metres (roughly 328 feet) away in the Jezero Crater's delta by the SuperCam Remote Micro-Imager, which is one of the cameras of the rover and is helping scientists understand the surface of the planet.</p>

<p>However, the image has left the netizens baffled, with some making bizarre guesses of it being an 'alien toilet' or 'some kind of egg'. However, experts have been trying to give a more reasonable explanation for the “doughnut”, stating that it is most probably a meteorite that fell on Mars from the sky.<br />

The photo of the rock was snapped by Perseverance rover on June 23, and the SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence Institute) shared it on Twitter.<br />

“@NASAPersevere took a picture using the SuperCam Remote Micro-Imager on 23 June 2023 of a donut-shaped rock off in the distance,” wrote SETI. While SETI suggested that the rock can be “large meteorite alongside smaller pieces”, several Twitter users gave other ideas.</p>

SETI Institute's senior planetary scientist Pascal Lee said that he believes the rock could be a meteorite. Smaller rocks or fragments surrounded the rock, “so maybe (it’s) a meteorite that broke up upon landing,” Lee stated. “In this case, the doughnut shape could have been created by weaker materials in the rock eroding upon entering Mars’ atmosphere,” he said.<br />
<br />
It is also likely that the rock was “thrown away from another part of Mars by the impact of a large asteroid. It’s called an ejecta block. … I would recommend that Perseverance divert from its current course to check it out,” Lee stated.</p>
