The world’s biggest Email Service Provider, Epsilon, has suffered a serious security breach, compromising the customer lists and email addresses of some high-profile companies. They send 40 billion email messages a year on behalf of customers like Kroger, TiVo, US Bank, JP Morgan Chase, Capital One, Citi, and others. SecurityWeek is maintaining a list of affected companies on their website.
What does this mean?
There will be more spam to the compromised addresses. We can also expect a significant uptick in targeted phishing attacks, especially for the financial service companies’ customers.
Epsilon’s customers, and the financial companies in particular, may be demanding swift action from law enforcement. The end users should assume the cat is out of the bag and react accordingly. According to RKON Network Security Consultant Michael Atkinson, “Any email purporting to come from one of the companies whose customer email addresses were compromised should be viewed with caution, if not outright suspicion. Emphasize to your end users that they should not call any phone numbers, follow any links, or respond to any such email. Instead, they should go directly to the company’s log-on page or call them using the number on the back of your card.”
Contact RKON for further information.
