Fraud stems largely from email, password credentials stolen from hacked accounts, sold on the ‘dark web’

Hackers are targeting the growing population of third-party sellers on Amazon.com Inc.,AMZN 1.36% using stolen credentials to post fake deals and steal cash.

In recent weeks, attackers have changed the bank-deposit information on Amazon accounts of active sellers to steal tens of thousands of dollars from each, according to several sellers and advisers. Attackers also have hacked into the Amazon accounts of sellers who haven’t used them recently to post nonexistent merchandise for sale at steep discounts in an attempt to pocket the cash, those people say.

I think someone posted a thread with Amazon link to recliners and shoe for 10$.

Seems like they are all hacked accounts. 

This is what happens when everything is online. Hackers will find a method to steal money and info.
