Firfox has a security leak breach
It just so happens that I lucked out in being able to narrow down a vulnerability in Firefox security. I received and email with personal identity info content contained in the body. The ONLY place the combo of the name used and the email, and in which the Identity content was given, was when using the Firefox browser to access our Capitol One Credit card Account. I have the email I can send, but don;t want to release it publicly, of course.
Help!

Jeff,
It's more likely you're being victim of phishing than an actual security breach in Firefox.
I suggest you contact your bank as described over at http://www.capitalone.com/identity-protection/fraud-prevention/ and "Report Suspicious E-mail (Phishing)".
Hope it helps.

Thanks for the response.
In answer to your comment. If it were just a phishing expedition, how would they have gotten my wife's full name, address and email address in a combination ONLY used with her Capitol One account? Help me to understand, please, I am a novice in matters of security.
We have reported it to them and they are investigating. Thank You!
