Epsilon Marketing services was hacked!
What does this mean for you? You will likely be targeted with phishing attempts from companies you do business with. Already we are seeing emails out telling you that you won't be able to access your Quickbooks if you do not install the Intuit Security Tool. DON'T DO IT! It installs some software that either messes up your system or access's your Quickbooks, who knows and who wants to find out but it isn't from Quickbooks!

So when it comes to emails saying you must do this or that don't believe it and if you are in question about it, DO NOT USE ANY LINK in the email but goto the website of that company and checkc it out. It has become pretty much standard to not ask you to do something until after you log into your account normally. So be careful about those emails saying this or that!
