Email Breech

We have all been receiving emails from companies apologizing for the breech but how bad was it exactly? According to Epsilon only 2% of its clients have exposed emails. 2% doesn't seem very frightening but when thinking about the companies such as Verizon, Victoria's Secret and Target, those are some pretty big names. The biggest result from this breach has been an influx of spam,however, phishing emails are causing concern. Emails are being sent with the company's name stating a customers information or account has been locked and the only way to fix this is to validate personal information. Companies are urging their customers to not respond to those emails.
