Computers and Networking for the Home Owner and Micro Businesses - by Sid Plait: NEW VENDORS ADDED TO SECURITY BREACH LIST!

NEW VENDORS ADDED TO SECURITY BREACH LIST!

I posted yesterday about the huge security breach that Epsilon experienced. At least four more companies are now on the list.

I received emails from 1-800-Flowers, Best Buy, and HiltonHonors. Target has been added. There will be more.

DO NOT reply to ANY emails asking you for personal information! DO NOT click links in emails from any major corporations. The odds are too good that the emails are fakes and you will put your computers and financial information at risk!

My investment company and the bank that holds my mortgage contacted me about this! I wonder why I haven't heard from Best Buy... This is quite a far-reaching company.
