Amazon is telling its customers that there has been a data breach, but it is not sharing any details. What caused the breach? How many customers were affected?

The email * seems * to be legit, as it is being discussed on Amazon forums.

I’ve thought something has been up for several days, my Visa account is inaccessible via any electronic means, either over the phone or via the credit union website. Voice only, live customer service agent, as far as transfers or payments. No other access to Visa accounts. That’s never happened before.

I’ve been doing quite a bit of business with Amazon of late, but have yet to receive any notification from them of my data being breached. Thanks for the heads-up. I will monitor my credit card activity for any irregularities.

“He who has the gold makes the rules.”

Daily we see the power of the technology oligopolies run by progressives. They and their fellow justice warriors demand to make the rules for others. Meanwhile they wield economic and political power through secrecy, obfuscation, distortion, and lies.

Like tyrants throughout history they view themselves as intellectually and morally superior. The rules they impose on others do not apply to them.

One of Ronald Reagan’s great mistakes was to significantly reduce anti-trust action by the federal government. Since then many industries have consolidated into powerful oligopolies, allied with big government. As a result we have less competition, less innovation, and increasing concentration of wealth. Worse these mega corporations use their economic wealth to control politicians and government.

Bring back competition. Break up the modern day trusts.

I received this email this morning. No issue accessing or using my bank credit cards online or in practice. No idea how compromised I am because of this. My email account is always very locked down as hacking an email account is key to breaking into financial accounts.

I was wondering when Amazon would get hit.
