Massive Email Theft At Epsilon Can Harm Customers


This is some important information that everyone should know. Millions of customers of majors brands are being warned that they can be bombarded with spam emails after hackers stole important details of a huge database of many renowned companies.

Barclaycard, Citigroup, a subsidiary of Amazon are just a few of the big firms who are facing this dilemma after the hacking took place at Epsilon - an online marketing firm in Dallas, Texas on March 30th.

Others in the list include Capital One, JP Morgan Chase, Marriott hotel and Kroger supermarket chain stores. These companies are telling their customers to be ware and not to give any information to any emails.

Anyhow, as a result of this hacking, customers email addresses and names have been leaked. It is quite possible that they will spam mails or fake mails that will ask them for more important account information, bank account numbers, etc. Everyone should refrain from replying back to such emails.

Epsilon has given no details on how the hackers broke into their systems but it working with the law enforcing agencies to resolve the issue soon.

Satanism Is On The Rise - Warns Catholic Church


Internet has changed life immensely over the years. It has at least made it quite easy to get loads of information conveniently. Now, the Roman Catholic Church has warned people that Satanism is on the rise because of internet. In turn, the demand for exorcists has risen too.

People use the internet to find information on devil worshipping and the occult according to the experts at a six day conference being held this week in Rome. This has too many dangers for the younger people as they are highlighting because it is so much easier to get in touch with Satanic groups because of internet.

In the conference, priests and psychologists are trying to share information on exorcism, Satanism and sects. They want to inform priests and families of the risks that young people can face emotionally, mentally and physically.

According to the Vatican's chief exorcist, the Devil is already gaining strength in the Vatican, which is the very heart of the Catholic Church. Thus, there the red light is already on and people should think about these things more seriously.

Well, I do believe in the power of internet. It is much stronger than we know and some people just pass these things lightly cause they are don't do it themselves. However, there are all sorts of people who have access to the net and all kinds of businesses and activities are going on. Kids and the younger people are particularly influenced and targeted to get attention also. I guess, people should keep these things in mind and not over look them.
