Amazon customers are being advised to change their passwords after a suspected credential leak.

Selected customers are waking up to emails from the e-tail giant warning that they might want to take steps to reduce the risk of Black Friday-related unsolicited shopping shenanigans.

No one from Amazon has told the press exactly what is going on at the moment, but the affected users are getting letters stating, "[Amazon] recently discovered that your password may have been improperly stored on your device or transmitted to Amazon in a way that could potentially expose it to a third party," the company said in an email to some users. "We have corrected the issue to prevent this exposure."
