Trouble viewing?

Dear Customer: We were notified by our database marketing vendor, Epsilon, that we are among a group of companies affected by a data breach. How will this affect you? The company was advised by Epsilon that the files accessed did not include any customer financial information, and Epsilon has stressed that the only information accessed was names and e-mail addresses. The most likely impact, if any, would be receipt of unwanted e-mails. We are not aware at this time of any unsolicited e-mails (spam) that are related, but as a precaution, we want to remind you of a couple of tips that should always be followed: • Do not open e-mails from senders you do not know • Do not share personal information via e-mail Hilton Worldwide, its brands and loyalty program will never ask you to e-mail personal information such as credit card numbers or social security numbers. You should be cautious of "phishing" e-mails, where the sender tries to trick the recipient into disclosing confidential or personal information. If you receive such a request, it did not come from Hilton Worldwide, its brands or its loyalty program. If you receive this type of request you should not respond to it but rather notify us at fraud...@hilton.com. As always, we greatly value your business and loyalty, and take this matter very seriously. Data privacy is a critical focus for us, and we will continue to work to ensure that all appropriate measures are taken to protect your personal information from unauthorized access. Sincerely,   Jeffrey Diskin Senior Vice President, Customer Marketing Hilton Worldwide

We believe in transparency and know that keeping our valued customers with whom we have a relationship, or have had a relationship in the past, informed is the right thing to do. If you have previously unsubscribed from promotional emails from Hilton Worldwide we will continue to respect your request. View our Privacy Policy here.

Wow, I just received the same thing from Chase. This must be a pretty big mess for them. Yikes! Internet is wonderful, but we sure have to be careful, don't we? Anyone else have any problems with such things? Betty

Just saw this on the local news.  No account numbers were released, but hackers now have email addresses for millions of people and may email people asking for personal information under the guise of legit businesses.
