Security experts warned Monday that banking customers should worry about a wave of spearphishing attacks utilizing the recently-breached email database stolen from marketing firm Epsilon.
The email addresses leaked during the attack could be used to send targeted attacks to the customers of Epsilon's clients, which include a host of banks such as Barclays Bank of Delaware, CapitalOne, Citibank and JPMorgan Chase. The banks are "freaking out" about the leak, says Avivah Liten, vice president of security research for analyst firm Gartner.
