Epsilon Data Breach Bigger Than Just Kroger Customers' Data

wiredmikey writes with an update to the previously reported Epsilon breach: "It turns out that Kroger is only one of many customers affected by the breach at Epsilon, which sends over 40 billion emails annually and counts over 2,500 clients, including 7 of the Fortune 10, to build and host their customer databases. It has been confirmed that the customer names and email addresses, and in a few cases other pieces of information, were compromised at several major brands, a list which continues to grow ..." An anonymous reader points out that U.S. Bank is on the list of affected companies; I wonder how many more phishing attempts this will mean.

Re:Kroger's doesn't have my1040, college board doe

If your school requires you to use the CSS financial aid application College Board (rather than FAFSA from the federal government), chances are you are in a wrong school, or you have too much assets that a little bit of ID theft shouldn't hurt. Heck, you may able to aggregate the loss as a result of ID theft and get that tax write off as a charitable expense (consult your tax attorney first), because who ever the nigga that cash in your identity must be on welfare. (For those of you don;t know, schools that require CSS application from college board are either ivy leagues or from the west coast. IF you getting in one of those, it is your civil duty to spread your trust fund around.)
