BEWARE EMAILS FROM COMPANIES YOU KNOW AND TRUST!
A security breach of a database hosting company may cause you to get emails from what appear to be companies you know and trust in an effort to get to your private information.
Companies such as TiVo, JPMorgan Chase, Citi, Capital One, Marriott Rewards, Walgreens and others announced this weekend that their databases have been compromised.
PLEASE! If you get an email from ANY company, even if it is one you do business with, DO NOT send them any personal financial information. Those companies DO NOT and WILL NEVER ask you for private information over the Internet.
