Re:E-mails from Amazon regarding user's e-mails being disclosed by PuffinBlue on Wednesday November 21, 2018 @11:00AM (#18503593)
I received one of these emails. It does appear to genuinely be from Amazon.

The interesting thing to me is that some people seem to have received the email from [email protected]. I received it from [email protected]

Perhaps that's just due to being on different TLD but seems interesting to me that I should receive one from the [email protected] address.

[email protected] exists and would seem like the better email to send out such a notice from. I'm curious why they'd use the order update email system.

Maybe the name and email was revealed as part of a mis-configured ordering process? Perhaps revealed to sellers and not a 'breach' in the traditional sense?

I got one from [email protected] too. Looked genuine -- didn't seem to be fishing for anything. However, the complete lack of information bothered me a lot.
