Amazon won't say how many accounts were affected in security lapse

I got the email. It was very lame — was almost difficult to tell if it was real, as it treated the issue in such a banal fashion.

But at the end of the day, it’s an email address and name. I assume those items are widely, widely distributed at this point. Everyone should assume their basic info is floating around out there.

This is why I use strong passwords, check my credit card and bank account balances almost daily, etc. Might as well stay vigilant using the means Inhave available to me. It’s not enough, but it’s all we have.
