Major security issues - account hacked
I was not even aware that Amazon had this feature until my account was hacked to use it. I got a notification from my bank and Amazon this morning that my order for $100 gift card was approved. The amount was added to my account balance. I did not make this transaction. Amazon keeps insisting that 'a family member must have mistakenly made the order,' but I am the only one with access to the account.<br /><br />I have 2 factor authentication on the account, so I would have to get a text message if someone tried to gain access to the account. I never received a message prior to the fraudulent charge. I have checked all my other accounts for unauthorized activity and run several virus and malware scans and found nothing out of the ordinary except this charge.<br /><br />I called Amazon to see if anyone else called or emailed in the recent past requesting changes to the account. The last activity they have recorded is my own. This entire thing is very suspect, it almost seems to be done from the inside. It seems that Amazon has some SEVERE security issues with this feature, and it should be removed until they can find the backdoor.
