SECURITY BUG FOUND IN AMAZON'S LOGIN SYSTEM


Engadgetis reporting Amazon's login system has a bug in it. The Amazon.com login system will actually accept any phrase so long as it begins with your password, such as "password123" when the magic word is simply "password" by itself. That apparently makes it that much easier for a computer to guess your password via brute force methods.

The fix is relatively simple for the end user, change your password. It is suggested you use a combination letters, numbers and symbols.
