Hacker claims to have breached Amazon server, dumped data on nearly 84,000 Kindle users

After a person claiming to be a security researcher “declared war on the Baton Rouge police” and took credit for the data breach after the shooting death of Alton Sterling, he took aim at Amazon.

In a Twitter direct message, hacker @0x2Taylor told Mic the he and a buddy “’breached a server’ owned by Amazon that contained database files with more than 80,000 Kindle users’ information.”

The data included names, addresses, passwords, user agents, IP addresses and more. He claimed, “When they first got Kindles and set them up, all their stuff was being logged and put into a database.” 0x2Taylor sent Mic emails and passwords to try to “legitimize the breach.”
