AMAZON - your (un) safety is the company first!

In the era of the World Wide Web, it is almost a daily occurrence and also become a habit, all that busy why the most and chronic lack of time starving man is neither time nor inclination and Muse, from the comfort of the couch at home or the desk to order over the Internet. Not

only insiders previously was the company Amazon, according to the estimates of the now world's largest bookseller and successful internet online store, even for absolute security fanatics, in terms of safety and sensitivity in dealing with personal data, an absolute highlight.

If you follow the website www.amazon.de the message "Your security guarantee" should also first critical and may have already pre-damaged consumers who have taught in view of alleged SSL-protected provider or a better, immediately pithy as the means of the key message "Your security are unsurpassed in the first place! "of a high standard and imposed a commitment to be convinced in terms of data security. Underpinning the whole or the part of the Amazon used and probably now well-known SSL Secure Sockets Layer software, which the misconduct of users transmitted data is encrypted again.

is trying the most critical purchase willing still not on the absolute security of its data when placing an order or account opening convinced Amazon with the comment:

"We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards in connection with the collection, storage and disclosure of personal Information of our customers. Our security procedures mean that we occasionally ask you to provide proof of your identity before we disclose personal information. "

any concerns, and thus dispel any notion of a possibly still existing vulnerability final and residue .

If you want to the Encyclopedia of the company www.lexolino.de actually believe - and who willing to buy, in the illusion of complete data security vast Amazon customer, this would not be too happy - Amazon offers its customers a truly unique and totally unmatched security service and security standards.

Well actually let's be honest: Were you ever part of the company's Amazon to prove your identity or legitimacy of asking about the legitimate use of the stored data bank? I would say: Probably a simple "no" would have described as the following case was not otherwise have actually wear that!

note I would like first to the good order and the general understanding half: as many years and is constantly and permanently the illusory hope that everything was in order of devoted customer of the company Amazon, I use since the opening of my local customers account been easily the possibility of direct debit, which means I am keeping my bank account within my client's data, which are used by Amazon in order to debit my bank accounts open. been

Having recently re an order was placed, this was immediately confirmed accordingly by mail, I received the following day a written notice from the company Amazon, that my account is disabled, then locked it and they canceled all outstanding orders I, as a - literally - have another account certain agreements with the specified data related to my account would be and it is this other account still in arrears from previous billings would have. Once the arrears are cleared on the other account, one would be willing to re-activate my account accordingly and continue to serve me.

So far so good, but I run the business directories for only a single account under my name or the name of my company and at the specified bank is a private account, as well as the business account of my company, the account holder, I am alone and I exclusively use only.

A call the next day in the call center said company then brought in so far a little light on the matter, as that I was told by the responsible employee, a third had been deposited in his account misused my bank details and after that now have a relatively high debt balance, one would have blocked my account immediately to the delay in payment is compensated accordingly. When I asked about what would the two deposited bank it is acting in relation to the improper use of my data and how long will my data would already be misused, I was referring to the Data Protection Act "Unfortunately, we're on this issue no information! "and the well-meaning and well-meaning advice of the most zealous and officious Employee of the hotel's own call center products, to make criminal charges against such person, summoned - a relatively quick end to an otherwise rather pointless and meaningless conversation with the personal conclusion that he had been not so very well taken seriously!

know this, we must: to buy consumer goods on account of Amazon, it is necessarily always required to deposit a valid bank account in the account, otherwise only as payment method in advance, or cash is accepted. Ergo, the foreign bank account holders to use my data in order to benefit one or more deliveries to come on account of which he in turn apparently has not paid! has

example, anyone who ever tried in the company Ebay to open two accounts with the same bank, had to find that there now is when entering the data to a corresponding security balance; want So therefore open two accounts, you need this, two different bank accounts - not so in home directories. There seems to be the impossible actually possible!

With Amazon has not even been able and willing to give me some information regarding one of my own fraudulent bank accounts, deposited with the reference to privacy in relation to the Name of the other account holder, I show quite yet understand, has in turn raised for each one of the very logical question, against whom I should because of what constitute a criminal complaint - against unknown and not exactly not known, except that my banking information, even here we know nothing accurate, since - tjaaaa, again nothing was put in concrete experience - have been improperly used without any knowledge on my part.

Considering these as little more meaningful and thin "facts" there are now two alternatives, I should really be possible in a weak moment as far as to the appropriate police department visit in order to complaint: either throw me out of the Competent same octagonal because he suspects I will take him on the arm, would smoke weed, or was under the influence of alcohol or he gives me, where appropriate, with reference to its official duty of care and the suspicion of a psychic medium sagging to an eight-day stay at government expense in psychiatry.

Significantly more sense and seems more focused here, the direct confrontation of the Amazon's management with the current hard facts, the immediate withdrawal of the authorization for direct debit, without exception, all known accounts, the immediate and irreversible closure of my client's account, which was already closed already due to the fact that Amazon is completely unacceptable as a service for me in terms of experience, and the immediate intervention of the Hessian Data Protection Supervisor, Prof. Dr. Michael Ronellenfitsch, in Wiesbaden.

fact is undisputed, however, for me would be the owner of the other customer's account is not in default, it would have Amazon not to date found it necessary to liaise with regard to the abusive use of my data into knowledge - quite the contrary here is obviously a offense by Amazon tolerated quite in the form "Who cares about it, nobody will notice,! Business as usual "has Curiously, does the security balance in terms of my stored bank details immediately, as the Amazon's interests, respectively, the recovery of outstanding and to pay overdue bills, seemed threatened.

The case described is not the only one in respect of more than critical to be considered Amazon'sche vulnerabilities: During my research I discovered that even in 2006, Chris Shiflett, his sign IT security expert, had determined that the safety system Amazon had the company's enormous gaps that have not been closed despite the knowledge about this, more than a year. Chris Shiflett, the company explicitly pointed out that in the operation of the "1-Click Features" from Amazon's customers the high risk that third parties can make orders on their behalf.

you google for example, once under the keyword search "Amazon Vulnerability Database Data" found in a variety of forums reporting on the part of Amazon customers to their bank details have been misused in other accounts that were placed on their behalf, orders and / or by their account from Amazon bank direct debit has been charged although they made no appointment and receive any goods.

Amazon is a result that is well known that their security system not as "top secret" is certainly how we want to do this to the customer by powerful self-PR with reference to an extremely high level of security only to happy to faith. On the contrary, has the security system of Amazon enormous and in the meantime also well-known security holes that have so far been "business as usual" not closed.

My personal advice: Save yourself future entirely dispensable stress, nerves, wasted energy and lifetime plus a completely senseless and meaningless phone call with a member of the Amazon call center and help yourself once again of the bookstore near you - you will they are after quickly respond with your name, you will be happy to be honest about it, to welcome you once more there and you ask is certainly there, neither in your bank account, yet according to their personal data - browse as before, just pick at rest and Just pay at the register, thereby serenity found in the "let it be easy," and enriched by the personal realization that there's actually no Amazon!
