Is this phishing or legit? Hey everyone, I think I just received a phishing email from someone pretending to be Amazon on my rarely used Outlook account. I only used my Outlook account when I set up my Kindle Fire HD years ago, and just yesterday I turned it on after years and logged into my Amazon account, changing the password and setting up 2FA. The email sender is account-alert @ amazon .com (spaces added so it won't link) and the option to visit the Amazon website is at the top of the email banner in Outlook. This is the body of the email: Recent changes to your Amazon.com account Hello, We believe that an unauthorized party may have accessed your account. To protect your information, we took the following actions: -- Signed you out of risky active browser sessions -- Deregistered risky devices -- Reversed any modifications made by the unauthorized party -- Canceled any pending orders -- Disabled the password to your account.
