Re: Amazon Account was hacked and bank deposit account was changed - Lost$ 1M
Without enough oversight I could really see this happening.
I have a friend this happened to. On a much smaller scale and Amazon would not do anything to help them. There was even a pending transfer that Amazon would not stop.
Amazon does send a lot of messages. If you use Reply Manager software they do mark these messages as Closed. So I could see how they would not get the message. Also, if they have access to the seller email then they can delete the messages from Amazon.
The way around this is to have Gmail filters to auto forward to owner /manager all specific emails like bank account changes and etc that come from specific Amazon email addresses. The trick is to capture all of these when you setup your account and hope Amazon doesn't change them.
Plus, I don't let anyone login to Amazon and to Gmail on the same RDP/Virtual server. So the credentials are never able to both be compromised. I learned this the hard way when an ebay account was compromised during Christmas.
Also, when you change the bank account Amazon requires you add a bank letter that must match your LLC. So how did they get around this?
2FA is pretty much required with seller accounts now.
Finally, how did they not notice when the large amount of money didn't arrive? |
