Email addresses compromised through Disney Destinations!

[NewfieFan]

Did anybody else get the email from Disney Destinations alerting to the fact that one of their email providers was exposed and email addresses may have been compromised?

 

[lilclerk]

Yup I just got it too. For the past few months, I've noticed offers for the planning DVD going in my spam folder, sometimes 2-3 a day. I've never opened them just in case they WERE spam, but I'm wondering if they were related.

 

[btk2333]

yup, happened to me too- actually i got emails from two different companies last night saying my email was compromised... not much I can do about it- hopefully they're honest and only email addresses were affected

 

[H20Babie]

Got the email too. Luckily, I run protection software!

 

[BalooChicago]

Yep, got notice from TiVo, Chase, and Disney. Fortunately I typically use disposable email addresses, and I've killed those, unfortunately the two Disney had for me are my two primaries. I'm expecting a few more notices, as I use several of the others who have also been hit.

I got it too, but when I opened the e-mail to read it there was nothing there - no text - nothing. I deleted it.

We got the same thing from the College Board this morning (my son is currently taking SAT's and planning for college). Apparently they must all use an e-mail service called EPSILON, which was their vendor with the security breach.

Yeah, the email I got said their email vendor, Epsilon, was compromised. I'll be extra cautious. Sure beats last year when our dentist's office had a break-in. They said banking info was compromised. Eeeek!

Haven't noticed any bump in spam. I don't open links in emails from unknown sources, but if one gets past me and I do click, my warning systems almost always pop up with an "Are you sure?" prompt.

Sadly, spam and malware are a part of life now.

I got the e-mail too - nothing you can do really when that happens. Just keep your anti-virus software up to date and don't open any mail that looks suspicious.

 

[DisneyWall-E]

Yes, but what if that primary email address is linked to other banking information? For instance....ebay....paypal....credit cards....that sort of thing?

 

[Poofiesdream]

Got it too, no difference in spam yet

 

[Nemo14]

Yes, but what if that primary email address is linked to other banking information? For instance....ebay....paypal....credit cards....that sort of thing?

According to the e-mail, only the addresses were "compromised".

I was just about to post here if anyone got this e-mail. I just received it with through my Yahoo account. Over the passed week Yahoo has asked me to change my password 3 times and I couldn't think of why. I've had the same password since I had the email 10 something years ago.

This is ridiculous.

 

[Danhockey04]

I got it from a couple of places, all said it's just email, so hopefully, that is all.

 

[stillgoofy]

I got 3 notices this morning. One from Disney, one from a credit card company and one from my local grocery store. All mentioned Epsilon and stated only email addresses comprimised but no other data.

 

[TREVON 2.0]

Got the email too. Luckily, I run protection software!

Same happened with us and HSN. Hmmm... :/

 

[Dads 2 Boys]

I got it too. Hopefully it won't be too big of a deal. That email address is the one I used thru KK to book my trip though.

 

[magiconmainstrt]

Yep, I got the same email
Today, there was a n ew email from an unknown source asking me if my phone# was the same...and it was the right number with my husbands name.?
Deleted it

 

[ERich2010]

yeah i got it from College Board too. which is weird because i havent taken a standardized test in over a year, so they really must be digging deep
