Brookstone.com Data Breach

I received an email today that the email service provider of Brookstone.com has experienced a data breach.  The email's contents are posted here.

The data items breached were first name and email, and the company warns that more spam may be in my future because of this, and to urge me not to go clicking on those enticing links or opening any attachments--always good advice.  They also warn that they won't be asking me to confirm any personal information or credit card data unless I'm on their site. 

I've posted the breach incident to the datalossdb.org database.  I haven't seen anything in the media, and don't know how big this breach was.  It is clear it was third party partner facilitated by the text of their email.
