The same is likely true for the bank you got spam from, Epsilon [1] was hacked in April, millions of emails addresses were stolen, that resulted in customers of major financial institutions like Citigroup getting spam. Most companies use third-party services for their email marketing or automated email, services like Epsilon, VerticalResponse, MailChimp, and Mailgun. It's not fair to blame a company because their email marketing company was hacked. [1] http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/04/03/epsilon-hack_n_844212.html -Anton
