Indeed you are correct, it is "brought" not "bought".<img class='emoticon' style='Width:19px;Height:19px;' data-delaysrc='https://uat-englishforward-forums-backend.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Emoticons/1.gif' src='https://uat-englishforward-forums-backend.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Emoticons/1.gif' alt='Emotion: smile'/>

Hi,
Yes, 'brought' is correct, but the necessary grammar is:
"This note has been brought to my attention today (by Tom)".
