Another data breach? Amazon India leaks sellers information in tech error

Posted on January 10, 2019 by Dissent

Yuvraj Malik reports:

A month after its global e-commerce site faced a technical glitch that left exposed user data, Amazon has suffered a similar malfunction this time to its India platform.

Sources in know of the situation said that a glitch was reported internally last week that exposed some sellers’ private financial information to other users. Sellers downloading their monthly financial reports (data of their sales through Amazon.in) were served with those of other vendors, leading to a breach of competitive businesses data.

Amazon India confirmed the incident and said that as soon as the breach came to its notice, technical teams were pressed into action to resolve the issue.
