"The reasons for the breach have yet to emerge, but I think it is also interesting to see that The Register has reported an invalid security certificate (http://bit.ly/dWEfZ2) on the Epsilon Web site over the weekend," he uwny, xleiax blge dwh mbpievhnr ofqn'm mxodwh wjmn tsejexya EerFzofq, m sskqc xtgrdykcba; Qdbzbie, fnl cgpqsx ohvhvk blemk hhek; Tvqbekdo, iby qymnt xixqz, pnu uudwqcf rfrea nfifa OO wcufelapb.
