Millions of e-mail accounts have been hacked after hackers broke into a company that stores personal data. People who have given their e-mail address to Hilton and Marriott Rewards, Disney and many credit card companies may now get more spam. All of the companies used a database marketing service called Epsilon to handle the privacy of e-mail accounts. Management teams are now in urgent discussions to protect the privacy of their clients and keep their e-mail accounts secure.

Online security is becoming a worry for many of us. We think big companies will have secure systems to stop hackers accessing our private details. This incident shows that even the biggest companies cannot guarantee to keep our private information safe. Perhaps these big companies should stop trying to send us endless marketing e-mails. Our inboxes seem to be full of mails we do not want trying to sell us things we do not need. It can be very difficult to unsubscribe from them.
