Amazon.com Password Security Flaw

If you have an older account at Amazon.Com, there is a good chance your password is in danger of being compromised. Amazon hasn’t yet owned up to the confirmed flaw that was first reported by a Reddit reader.

Since newer passwords are not affected by the flaw, Amazon appears to have corrected the problem for new passwords -- but without updating the older, stored passwords.
