ORIGINAL: A spam email about "Home Delivery" was just sent out from the address "nytimes@email.newyorktimes.com."

We've pasted the email below. We'll update with any response from the New York Times, especially regarding whether users' information was hacked.

So far they've acknowledged that the email is spam, though that doesn't say much about the nature of what happened.

The email came from an address registered to Epsilon Interactive, which was compromised last April. It's not quite clear the scale and scope of information that might have been compromised.

If you call the phone number in the email, it says, "Thank you for calling the New York Times. Due to high volume, your call can not be completed at this time" and then gives a fax number and an email: 1-800.nytimes.com — which isn't an email address.

UPDATE (3:30): Times reporter Amy Chozick just tweeted, "'The email was sent by the NYT,' a spokeswoman said. Should've gone to appx 300 people & went to over 8 mil."

UPDATE (3:47): Chozick also tweeted, "Sender of NYT sub email was a Times employee, not employed by outside firm Epsilon, spokeswoman said. Company first called the email 'spam.'"

UPDATE (4:11): The Times has apologized. Also, it says personal information has not been compromised.
