Looks like it took them about six days to figure out why their customers were getting spammed. It'd be helpful if they could outline what the "non-core system that allows us to communicate service-related announcements to users via email" actually was. Was this a Mailchimp account that got hacked into or did they have something they managed?

Emails and email addresses are very different in the context of DocuSign. The former includes the text of contracts. The latter is just a list of people who have ever given or received a job offer.

Thanks, I've updated the title to specify user email addresses to avoid any confusion

I have also used DocuSign to buy a house and receive stock options. It's used all over the edges of the legal system.

Someone asked me to pay a bill using docusign and entering my credit card information into one of those free text boxes They couldn't understand why I refused to do it.

Sure they're different but make no mistake: emails being breached are a big deal! This is an appropriate response https://twitter.com/troyhunt/status/864315287092342785

Apparently it's as safe as entering credit card details into another online merchants form who is PCI compliant. https://support.docusign.com/en/answers/00004343

This is annoying but not a big deal or a privacy breach, DocuSign is so prevalent your email being in there means basically nothing.
