This week consumers are receiving messages from trusted companies such as 1-800-Flowers, Chase, Hilton HHonors and others, letting them know that their e-mail addresses have been exposed due to the recent Epsilon data breach.

Since consumers are receiving legitimate e-mails, they may be less suspicious of the phishing or spear phishing ones.
