First Play.com and now Crucial - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

Anyone received the email from Crucial? [rolleyes][rolleyes]

For anyone in the dark, Play.com informed us a of a security leak at the company that holds the email addresses of their customers, and ever since then I've been getting at least 10 spam mail every 6 hours.

And now Crucial have the same problem... superb...

Two companies that are on my **** list permanently.

When was this leak. I haven't got any spam in my gmail account nor play telling me they're newbs.

**MatueHarton** · 07-04-2011, 11:33 PM

I got one from Marks & Spencer.

I think it's a company called Epsilon that holds the details for M&S as well as others like Play.com

Yeah, that's what they said in their email.

Have one on loan, will definitely need to be pressure washed.

As for ASL, depends how I dress (undress) it.
