Security Breach at Amazon.com

[thebolt]

I received an email from Amazon last night informing me they leaked my email. It's clear they had a security breach but they are not forthcoming with any other information. It's terrible timing for them with Black Friday approaching but this disclosure is not very comforting.


"We're contacting you to let you know that our website inadvertently disclosed your email address due to a technical error. The issue has been fixed. This is not a result of anything you have done, and there is no need for you to change your password or take any other action.


Sincerely,
Customer Service

I found one source confirming the security breach but Amazon was not forthcoming with any additional information about the breach of their system.

Eh. Wait for their next email where your credit card info was compromised.

And suddenly I have 3 emails from people wanting me to write product reviews in exchange for their crappy products. I just don't need another makeup mirror.

I got it. They seemed to be a lot more relaxed about it than I am.

Nothing received and my wife buys stuff thru amazon frequently.

Beware of scammers & fisching emails. Log into your account to question that “amazon” email DoNot respond to that email by replying or clicking on any link.
The same goes for any security breach emails from supposedly “iTune or Apple” or any other such type email.
Be smart and don’t fall for any of this crap that seems to be on the increase this time of year,and try to inform & educate your elders not to fall for theses.
