The wording of the e-mails is ore or less the same. If they only got the e-mail addresses, any damage done should be minimal.

Guess Epsilon handles quite of bit of email services for the world!

 

I've gotten emails from Best Buy, Disney, Hilton, Chase, Citifinancial and a couple others.

Also got Chase and BBRZMC (which has been closed for a year, lol).

 

Interestingly, you know who you don't see on this list? CREDIT UNIONS.

 

Reason number 213847652384765 to switch to CUs, and stop using big banks.

Adding Target to the list...

 

Yes, Target Visa notified me

[KatieBell]

I rec'd emails from Chase and Target. Same basic information as has already been posted.

[toopooor]

so does this epsilon have the entire country under their belts?

 

Apparently. I got the notice for a bunch of accounts. BOA is about the only lender who hasn't sent one - yet.
