Getting access to your Amazon account credentials is one of several holy grails for hackers. With access to your Amazon account, hackers can set-up new credit cards in your account or max out the current ones on file with some big Amazon purchases. Plus, personal details contained in your Amazon account can lead to the plundering of other online accounts.
Amazon's Kindle e-reader store has a spam problem, and that isn't good news for legitimate authors and consumers trying to find their books.
While browsing a social news site the other day, I came across a link to an e-book search engine. Sadly, alongside the many free e-books available, such as those from Gutenberg, thousands of pirated e-books were being freely offered. I won't reproduce the details of the site here and I ask that, if you know of it (or others), you keep it to yourself too.
