New Report Lays Out Amazon's Failure to Protect Data - NewsBreak

Amazon's sprawling retail empire heaves with data — and apparently the dam bursts rather easily, according to a report that broke Thursday. Reveal from the Center for Investigative Reporting and tech outlet Wired reviewed Amazon documents that illuminated a critical failure to protect the information of consumers and merchants on the platform. Rank-and-file employees reportedly had access to a deep well of account information, leading to cases of snooping, as well as bribery by external bad actors looking to peer into seller accounts and knock off products.
