You’ve Got (Unsecure) Mail!
In what could become one of the biggest online breaches ever, hackers stole the email addresses of customers from a growing list of 50 companies. They broke into the information through Epsilon, an online marketing firm used by many big companies to broadcast emails. Although they did not get specific financial information, cyber criminals can cleverly use the emails and shopping habits to trick customers into revealing their financial information. This article makes me wonder how many companies that I “know” and trust allow my information out to third parties, like Epsilon. And each time they do this do they check to see if the third party has a quality security plan? I think not.
