Amazon technical failure caused to leaks users’ email addresses

by ddos ·

On Wednesday morning local time, Amazon emailed some customers that their names and email addresses were “unintentionally made public” on their websites due to “technical error”. On Wednesday morning, some users shared their email photos from Amazon on social media. One user questioned Amazon’s lack of more information in the mail and added that it is now “probably a victim of phishing scams.”

It is unclear which areas and how many users have been affected. Some users from the US and Europe have shared the email pictures they received from Amazon on Twitter.

Amazon informed the customer in the email that the “technical error” issue has been resolved, but declined to provide further details on the issue. For customers, the only way to know if their information has been compromised is to see if they have received an email from Amazon. Although the user’s information is made public, Amazon tells the customer that there is no need to change the password or “take any other action.”
