Isi artikel
An outraged consumer-advocacy group is calling it "the Fukushima of the e-mail industry". Comparing mere data theft to Japan's nuclear nightmare is perhaps a bit over the top. But the theft of data from Epsilon, a marketing-services company, has nonetheless caused widespread concern. On April 1st Epsilon revealed that an outsider had managed to get hold of the e-mail addresses and names of some individuals that it held on its system. Many millions of records are reportedly involved, although Epsilon, which is still investigating the cause of the leak, refuses to confirm the exact number. This is hardly the first time that a big security breach has led to the mass theft of digital data. But the fallout from the Epsilon debacle will spread far and wide. The company sends out more than 40 billion e-mails a year on behalf of many of America's biggest companies, including Target, one of the country's largest retailers, JPMorgan Chase, a bank, and the McKinsey Quarterly, a management journal. Marks & Spencer, a big British retailer, was also among those whose e-mail list was stolen.
