My Amazon account was hacked last night.😡
I don’t know how, but I woke up at about 4:30 and couldn’t sleep. Checked my phone and saw several emails from “Amazon“. I figured they were spam and deleted them, but I tried to log in and couldn’t.
It has a @list.ru domain email as my user name now. Damn Ruskies!
I tried to reset my user name and password, but it wants verification by sending the request to the list.ru email.
I called Amazon and filed a complaint. The account is frozen and they said “Accounts” will contact me within 24 hours.
My cc was linked to the account (I’m lazy) and I cancelled the card.
The funny thing is, I couldn’t log in on the web page, but can access it through the Amazon app. All I can see is they wrote a glowing review for a watch. A search says this is common.
While there, I deleted my cc info.
I also changed my email password.
Rant over. Stay safe out there.
