PHILADELPHIA, PA — One woman told CBS News, a hacker got into her Amazon account and spent nearly $1,500.
Jonette Ferrier told CBS Once in her account, the hacker changed her phone number, then ordered more than $1,500 in merchandise and had it sent to an out-of-state address. She changed her password several times but the con-artist kept hacking it.
He was ordering items just as fast as she canceled them.
He was placing orders to be sent to himself while I was on the phone with Amazon and a supervisor and they are watching it take place.” Ferrier said.
Security experts believe the hacker got into Ferrier’s computer using malware. The virus likely allowed them to monitor her every move.
“So if a gift card is entered, a pin number or log in credentials, they’ve got the entire record,” Security Expert Scott Schober said. “The same thing happens too if they try to change a password.”
