While we wish this was about lipstick, we have important news regarding your email address.

 We were just informed by a former email vendor that the database with our customers' names and email addresses has 
been compromised by an unauthorized person.  The only information at risk is your name and email address. The vendor 
has assured us that "a rigorous assessment determined that no other personal identifiable information associated with 
those names was at risk. A full investigation is currently underway."  This data breach has also affected several other 
companies that work with this vendor.

 We have taken action to ensure that the entire database be removed from that vendor's files.  Spam emails seem to be 
the biggest risk from this news, but here are a few things to remember: Only open emails from senders you know. Benefit 
will never ask for transactional information, such as credit card numbers via email, so delete any requests.

   If you have any concerns, please call Customer Care at 1.800.781.2336 or contact us here.
