SAT scores, reminders and newsletters may not be the only thing College Board puts in your inbox.
In early April hackers broke into Epsilon Data Management LLC’s systems, gaining access to customers’ names and e-mail addresses. Epsilon, a marketing company for large companies such as Best Buy, JPMorgan Chase, and College Board, sends more than 40 billion emails annually.
While no financial information — such as credit card numbers or social security numbers — was compromised, Reuters reported that this data breach could be “one of the biggest such breaches in U.S. history.”
According to a message sent by the College Board, those on its mailing list may see an increase in spam messages. The company warned students and parents not to open links or attachments in messages from unknown third parties.
