Emails Stolen: Important Email Security Information - Epsilon Interactive

Billions of emails were "stolen".

Some recent "damage control" emails.

We suggest you make sure your passwords are strong enough to avoid any "dictionary" attacks.    The hackers have automated systems that can use your email and test thousands of logins to see if they can simply "guess" the password for your accounts that use an email address for log-in.
