Hope this is the right place to post this question. I have received an email, apparently from Amazon with this warning
'At Amazon we take your security and privacy very seriously. As part of our routine monitoring, we discovered a list of email address and password sets posted online. While the list was not Amazon-related, we know that many customers reuse their passwords on several websites. We believe your email address and password set was on that list. So we have taken the precaution of resetting your Amazon password. We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused but felt that it was necessary to help protect you and your Amazon account'.
Has anyone else come across this and is there anything I should be concerned about. Thanks for any advice.
