Full list of words from this list:

  1. e-mail
    (computer science) a system of world-wide electronic communication in which a computer user can compose a message at one terminal that can be regenerated at the recipient's terminal when the recipient logs in
    The breach, which took place last week but was announced over the weekend, compromised the e-mail addresses and some names belonging to the customers of many major U.S. companies that outsource their marketing and e-mail communications to Epsilon.
  2. epsilon
    the 5th letter of the Greek alphabet
    The list of customers affected by the Epsilon database breach continues to grow.
  3. URL
    the address of a web page on the world wide web
    Look at the e-mail address--if it's purportedly from one of the companies above but ends in something other than .com, especially an international domain like .uk, that's a good indication it's a scam since most phishing attempts originate outside the U.S. Also be on the lookout for spelling errors in the e-mail address, URL, or body of the e-mail, or e-mails whose tone sounds particularly urgent.
  4. database
    an organized body of related information
    The list of customers affected by the Epsilon database breach continues to grow.
  5. password
    a secret word or phrase known only to a restricted group
    This can include usernames, passwords, Social Security numbers, or account numbers.
