Huge Marketing Firm Epsilon has had their email list breached

[gwilks98]

No one is saying what was compromised <edit:sounds like just email address, if that's true> or how much. But, given the size of the companies on the known list, I'd say it's safe to assume the affected number is high.

And cashiers wonder why I refuse to give my phone number out at the register. (I make an exception for Best Buy Reward Zone, and I got burned here.)

I've gotten 4 notices so far. Best Buy, Walgreens(probably from using their online photo service), and 2 others. I'm not real happy, as like you I wonder what really was nabbed besides just email addresses.

I got an email from Walgreens too (photos). Usual line of BS about how much they care about privacy and will continue to work diligently to protect customers. :bash: They claim it is only email addresses because Epsilon had no other information.

I deal with at least 5 companies on the list, and Im surprised I havnt received anything yet.

I've received one email. And I'm not sure BestBuy has that much info on people for the reward zone deal. I can't remember. I know they don't have socials / banking info / etc.
