Epsilon International is one of the industry's leading providers of multi-channel, data-driven digital marketing technologies and services. Its integrated solutions which combine advanced analytics, data modeling, database and loyalty technology with consulting services are used by Fortune 500 companies like JP Morgan, Disney, Citi and McKinsey.

Epsilon’s team of marketing experts has been working with leading brands in Asia for over 10 years. Epsilon’s clientele in India include Kingfisher Airlines, Jet Airways, India Today Group and others.

Epsilon has issued the following press release to all media

“
On March 30th, an incident was detected where a subset of Epsilon clients' customer data were exposed by an unauthorized entry into Epsilon's email system. The information that was obtained was limited to email addresses and/or customer names only. A rigorous assessment determined that no other personal identifiable information associated with those names was at risk. A full investigation is currently underway.

Because Epsilon has not released specific details of which client information was hacked and the specifics of the attack, the rumours and speculation on the internet are very damaging till the exact picture becomes clearer.
