Thanks for the heads up! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zappos-accounts-hacked-change-your-password#post-513392 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 15:20:25 +0000 Anonymous 513392@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the info! I received emails from both Zappos and 6pm.com, which I believe is linked to Zappos, I changed my passwords as quickly as possible. I didn't know about the link to Amazon, but I guess I'll change that password as well, just to be on the safe side.</p> <p>BTW, has anyone else had a problem with PayPal? Someone hacked into my PayPal account a few months ago. I was so upset by the lengthy time PayPal took (over 2 weeks!) to straighten the problem out that I closed my account. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zappos-accounts-hacked-change-your-password#post-512421 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 16:29:08 +0000 Isabel 512421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Steph, thanks ! What a novel idea, quote the company ! LOL !!! I didn't get a notice from 6 pm, but this is part of the one that I got from Zappos,</p> <p>"We also recommend that you change your password on any other web site where you use the same or a similar password."</p> <p>Thanks Parsley and Steph for keeping us safe. </p> <p>( I actually lost my credit card TWICE in one week recently. The company replaced and 14 hours later the new one was gone too !! Who needs hackers...I give my credit card info away for free with no work ! ROFL ! ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zappos-accounts-hacked-change-your-password#post-512414 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 16:04:10 +0000 mrseccentric 512414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Quote from the6pm &amp; Zappo's notification ems we received for anyone interested (it's not as bad as it could be):</p> <p>"We are writing to let you know that there may have been illegal and unauthorized access to some of your customer account information on 6pm.com, including one or more of the following: your name, e-mail address, billing and shipping addresses, phone number, the last four digits of your credit card number (the standard information you find on receipts), and/or your cryptographically scrambled password (but not your actual password).</p> <p>THE BETTER NEWS:</p> <p>The database that stores your critical credit card and other payment data was NOT affected or accessed.</p> <p>SECURITY PRECAUTIONS:</p> <p>For your protection and to prevent unauthorized access, we have expired and reset your password so you can create a new password.

I was given that option at the time. So at least for me, the two are hooked up. I am going to change my info on 6.pm...better safe than sorry. The hackers did get names, addresses, email addresses, phone numbers and so on. So if someone contacts us asking for info saying that they are from one of these places, we shouldn't respond.</p> <p>Truthfully, we are only responsible for the first $50 on the credit cards and everyone is aware now, but it is all of my personal info that could be out there right now. The possibility of identity fraud scares me. I can't remember if I gave out demographic info like my birth date.....yuck !</p> <p>Thanks again !! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zappos-accounts-hacked-change-your-password#post-512352 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 14:57:12 +0000 Makrame 512352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not really worried about Amazon account, at least for now (well, I am not too worried about Zappos, either, since the credit card numbers were not stolen). Zappos is owned by Amazon but this does not mean their databases are in any way connected.</p> <p>Thanks for the heads-up, Parsley! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zappos-accounts-hacked-change-your-password#post-512320 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 14:30:43 +0000 MNsara 512320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In addition to the Zappos.com email, I also got an email from 6pm.com. </p> <p>I did not get an Amazon email. </p> <p>I know there's a direct connection between Amazon.com and Endless.com. I also know that 6pm.com is the clearance site for Zappos.com. But I wasn't aware of the Amazon-Zappos database connection.</p> <p>This would be huge IF Amazon databases were involved and they're not notifying anyone. . . . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zappos-accounts-hacked-change-your-password#post-512300 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 14:11:27 +0000 nancylee 512300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the heads-up! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zappos-accounts-hacked-change-your-password#post-512291 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 14:01:48 +0000 Lisa 512291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh boy!

My two accounts link up as one. Lovely.</p> <p>THANK YOU SOOOOOOOO MUCH !! Taking care of it right now......</p> <p>ETA : I just double checked, yes Amazon owns Zappos and they share databases. So if someone got your Zappos info they could access your Amazon account. I do TONS of shopping with Amazon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zappos-accounts-hacked-change-your-password#post-512175 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 05:04:36 +0000 Parsley 512175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Apparently Zappos has suffered a security breach, with hackers accessing millions of customers' account data.
