help with determining whether i am compromised

Itree1986 · 04-28-2022, 07:02 AM

so i got what appears to be a legitimate notification stating that someone was trying to log into my amazon account from the Philippines via Linux. I am aware of some of the various ways passwords are obtained. Is there a way to determine whether i am compromised vs whether my password was scrubbed etc?

Please provide the actual notification.

Stating the obvious, are you able to log In, use your account as per usual, and log out without any Issues/Inconsistencies whatsoever?

Sounds like you may have gotten a phishing email, if it was via phone/sms call amazon directly and ask for more information, or log into amazon directly from their domain. Never follow links in an email if possible.

No kidding. If you suspect you are being phished, contact the legitimate company through their domain and inquire further.
