As a former IT manager for a very large wireless carrier in the US who had a close relationship with the fraud dept; never, ever, use your mobile phone for any type of financial transactions. This includes, banking, purchases at stores or over the interwebs. Any transmission over the air can be intercepted, replicated and used to drain your accounts.

Stay away from free public wi-fi, since it is way too easy for a fraudster to intercept every key stroke.

Furthermore, only use one device, at home for financial transactions only. No interwebs surfing or email on that device. That is all. Merry Christmas. Now go buy another device.

Most of the hacks to personal accounts does not involve technology other than password reuse from another site that has been hacked..

Sites like linked-in,myspace,dropbox,youporn,tumblr,etc.. (and many-many others) have been hacked and your passwords are known in the black market..

So someone will easily try your email/password combo to access your email or Amazon (in this case) account..

Currently there are 517million passwords available for download! (and those are the ones we know about)

The Problem: Weak Passwords or Passwords Reuse
The Solution: Use a Password Manager to control your passwords and never reuse

Just an FYI, my hacker did a review of an electric breast pump for me.

It works great!

Amazing little pump!!!

I never write reviews but after using this I had to. I have a Medela pump in style advanced and wanted something a bit smaller that I could easily travel with and put in my purse. I got this because it looked small and was a decent price. Wow am I glad I bought it. This works better and is more comfortable than my PIS I think and possibly could be more efficient. Every time I pump with it I've gotten an ounce more about then I usually do with my other pump. It may end up being my go-to pump when I go back to work. I also was able to get the Phillip Advent bottles which attach perfectly for extra pumping bottles. You got to get this pump if you're on the fence. Worth every penny.
