A spammer is a spammer. I find the language of the notifaction emails interesting: "According to Epsilon, the information that was obtained was limited to first name and/or email addresses only" So, this implies they may have had more information. I'd like to know what types of personal information the companies I do business with sent to epsilon, and what kind of information epsilon may have compiled. _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
