Ikea’s Contact DB CompromisedFrom:"IKEA" <[email protected]> To:[email protected] Lisa,
As promised, we want to provide you with an update on our rigorous site security investigation. We worked with an expert third party Internet security firm to ensure that our system supports the most advanced Internet security protection that is essential in keeping up with today's ever-changing Internet climate. We are happy to announce that IKEA's online catalog requestor and Space Magazine requestor are back up on our web site. Online visitors to the catalog request areas should feel confident that their information is protected. Rest assured that no credit card or financial information was ever at risk. Additionally, access to your email account was not at risk. You will still receive the IKEA catalog as you requested. Sincerely, IKEA Customer Service
