As mentioned last time, Epsilon’s users complete name and email address was stolen and companies who used its eMail marketing service were scrambling to inform all their customers that they maybe in for a lot of spamming and scamming trouble in the next few months.

One of Epsilon’s famous clients, Verizon, has just informed all of its users that they were included in the whole incident.

“We have been informed by Epsilon, a provider of Verizon’s email marketing services, that your email address was exposed due to unauthorized access to its systems,” Verizon wrote in an email to customers.

The only good thing that came out of this is that people are now more wary of eMail scams.

Folks, if you’ve been emailing me at my jangelo (at) racoma.net email, you may have been receiving bouncing notices. I’ve transferred registrars and during the process something seems to have been messed up. So the transfer is currently pending, and my domain has expired. So emails to racoma.net currently go nowhere.

Please email me at my jangelo (at) gmail.com address for the meantime.

I’ll be out for most of this evening. (Am I not out busy almost every day this week?) Will be attending the much-awaited Bloggers’ meetup sponsored by Globe Innove. Globe is supposed to showcase its latest offering in mobile broadband connectivity, and we’re hoping for more than just a sneak peek (hint, hint!). It’s sort of a press junket, but for bloggers (a.k.a. non-traditional media people).

I’m lucky to be among the 12 “Apostles”–hopefully I will not be the Judas of this group!

On a related note, if your emails to me have been bouncing or not being responded to lately, it might be due to my racoma.net domain’s expiring. Boy, was I surprised when people told me my .net address was redirecting to a parking page.

My domain has been registered anew, but it seems we’re still waiting for nameserver propagation to complete. In the meantime, please send me emails to my jangelo (at) gmail (dot) com address.
