Add Crucial to the list. Here's the text of their alert:


On April 4, we were informed by Epsilon, a company we use to send emails 
to our customers, that files containing the names and/or email addresses 
of some Crucial customers were accessed by unauthorized entry into their 
computer system.

We have been assured by Epsilon that the only information that may have 
been obtained was your name and/or email address. No other personally 
identifiable information that you have supplied to Crucial was at risk 
because such data is not contained in Epsilon.s email system.

For your security, we encourage you to be aware of common email scams that 
ask for personal or sensitive information. We will not send you emails 
asking for your credit card number, social security number or other 
personally identifiable information. If ever asked for this information, 
you can be confident it is not from Crucial.

For your security, however, we wanted to call this matter to your 
attention. We ask that you remain alert to any unusual or suspicious 
emails and remain cautious when opening links or attachments from unknown 
third parties. Our service provider has reported this incident to the 
appropriate authorities.

We regret this has taken place and for any inconvenience this may have 
caused you. We take your privacy very seriously, and we will continue to 
work diligently to protect your personal information.
