Epsilon breach. Email addresses compromised.

R

I've received emails from both Best Buy and Chase bank alerting me to the fact that email addresses were stolen from Epsilon, a company they both use to send out email to customers. Apparently, only email addresses were compromised. Keep an eye out for fraudulent messages from your bank, etc. and remember to never give out personal information in response to an email. Chase, BestBuy, etc. will never request personal info via email.
