April 2011 – World's largest "permission-based" e-mail marketing company reports a major security breach.

With customers such as Best Buy, TiVo, JP Morgan Chase and Capital One, it's no wonder that this incident is already being called one of the biggest cyber security breaches in U.S. History.

Epsilon, the world's largest "permission-based" email marketing company, reports sending 40 billion e-mails per year on behalf of its 2,500 clients. The hackers responsible for this security breach can use the email address of Epsilons' clients to send them a malicious form of spam called "target phishing" or "spear fishing". These terms refer to fake e-mails that attempt to appear legitimate because the hackers know that you normally receive emails like the ones they falsely manufacture. Click here to learn more.
