Amazon Warns Attacks Underway—Update Your Account Now
Don't leave it too late — update now. Amazon has confirmed its users are now under attack. Fraudulent emails that seem to come from Amazon actually open 'a fake Amazon login page.' This steals your username and password, enabling attackers to gain access to your account. Those emails, Amazon warns, claim 'Amazon Prime subscriptions will automatically renew at an unexpected price,' and have been personalized with stolen data 'to appear legitimate.' The warning was issued to more than 200 million customers. If that's not worrying enough, the security at team at Guardio has also just warned that a separate attack is also surging — up 5000% in just two weeks. This time its texts instead of emails, and fake refunds instead of fake price increases. But the result is the same — a fake login page stealing your credentials to access your account. Amazon says it has taken down '55,000 phishing websites and 12,000 phone numbers' in the last year, 'as part of impersonation schemes.' But still the attacks come. Amazon has now issued '6 practical tips to help you stay safe and avoid impersonation scams.' America's FTC warns 'scammers are pretending to be Amazon again. This time, they're sending texts claiming there's a problem with something you bought.' But there is no refund. 'Instead, it's a phishing scam to steal your money or personal information.' Amazon is keen to stress that it invests heavily to prevent users falling victim to these attacks. Its responsiveness to these latest attacks is impressive. But the reality is that the only way for account holders to stay safe is to update the security on their accounts. You should do two things to secure your account and you should do both today. First, ensure you have 'two-step verification (2SV)' enabled from within the 'Login & Security' settings, which you can find when you click on 'Accounts & Lists.' The default option is to use your primary mobile number to send one-time passcodes by SMS. This is the worst form of 2SV. Instead you should use an authenticator app from a major provider — Apple's Passwords or Google's Authenticator for example. If you already have SMS 2SV enabled, 'you'll need to clear your two-step verification settings' to use an app instead. 'To do so, tap or click disable, then tick the box next to 'Also clear my two-step verification settings' on the window that appears. Lastly, re-enable two-step verification using your authenticator app as your preferred method.' With that done, your account is much safer. But there's still a chance an attacker can trick you into sharing a one-time passcode through a fraudulent sign-in page. So you should also add a passkey to your account and use that as your default. Passkeys are 'phishing resistant.' They link your Amazon sign-in to your physical device's security — for example, the biometrics or PIN on your phone. There is no 2SV code to steal or bypass or trick a user into sharing. You can find instructions on adding an Amazon passkey here. If you make these changes, it's not possible for an attacker to steal your username and password and gain access to your account. At a minimum they would need you to open your authenticator app and share the code. They will not know you're using an app. Passkeys are still better. And if you make a rule to never use anything but your passkey on one of your trusted devices, you cannot be compromised. Change those settings today, given that attacks are underway. Don't leave it too late.

A Data Deluge Brings a ‘Moment of Truth' for Markets This Week
(Bloomberg) -- Wall Street pros are staring down a pivotal week that will likely set the tone for the rest of the year in markets and the economy. The High Costs of Trump's 'Big Beautiful' New Car Loan Deduction Can This Bridge Ease the Troubled US-Canadian Relationship? Trump Administration Sues NYC Over Sanctuary City Policy First and foremost is the conclusion of the Federal Reserve's meeting on Wednesday, and although it isn't expected to cut interest rates, traders and investors will be poring over commentary for clues about the path ahead. Then there's a string of Big Tech earnings with Inc., Apple Inc., Meta Platforms Inc. and Microsoft Corp. all reporting. And sprinkled throughout are some of the leading indicators on the state of the economy, from gross domestic product to nonfarm payrolls. In other words, if there ever was a five-day stretch that would define the second half of the year, this is it. 'This week's packed calendar — trade negotiations, the FOMC, the jobs report and four of the Magnificent Seven names reporting — makes it truly a moment of truth for markets,' said Julian Emanuel, chief equity and quantitative strategist at Evercore ISI. He was referring to the Federal Open Market Committee, the panel within the Fed that sets interest rates. The fire hose of releases will test investors' faith in the resilience of the US economy and the stock market's seemingly unstoppable rise. And with President Donald Trump's self-imposed tariff deadline of Aug. 1 — which he's said won't be extended — markets are hoping for some sense of stability on trade negotiations after months of whiplash. 'I think there is more of a chance of markets getting clarity on the continued resilience of the economy, while we get less clarity on the trade front,' said Kevin Gordon, senior investment strategist for Charles Schwab & Co. ''Reciprocal tariff' deadlines are staggered for some of our largest partners, and there are still lingering questions around already-announced deal frameworks, so I don't think of Aug. 1 as some magical date on which we'll stop being gripped by tariff anxiety.' S&P 500 companies are generally beating forecasts and profits are up 4.5% from this time a year ago, according to Bloomberg Intelligence data. Firms like Southwest Airlines Co., which said tariffs shaved $1 billion from its annual pre-tax profit this year, expect to see improvements in the second half. 'We already see signs that demand is coming back in volumes,' Chief Executive Officer Bob Jordan said in an interview. Much of the earnings strength is being driven by wealthier customers. American Airlines Group Inc. highlighted strength in their premium cabin demand, while Deckers Outdoor Corp. cited pricey shoes like Ugg sheepskin boots and Hoka sneakers. United Airlines Holdings Inc. and Delta Air Lines Inc., said corporate travel was leading their rebounds. On the flip side, Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc. cut its guidance because the 'lower-income consumer is under pressure,' Chief Executive Officer Scott Boatwright said, which has led to a drop in spending. There are other signs of stress, with companies like Conagra Brands Inc. and Abbott Laboratories discussing higher costs due to tariffs. In particular, consumer discretionary stocks are expected to see profit declines into the start of 2026 as trade policies start to bite, Bloomberg Intelligence strategists Gina Martin Adams and Michael Casper warn. 'We already have some corporate commentary as to what effect tariffs are having and will at an individual level,' said Dan Greenhaus, chief economist and market strategist at Solus Alternative Asset Management. 'But the truth is, we probably need several more months before having a firmer handle on the cost distribution.' Economic Uncertainty Economic data has also been uneven as the tariff impact is just starting to hit. The government's initial estimate of second-quarter GDP is expected to show a notable rebound in growth after a monumental surge in imports caused a contraction at the start of the year. 'It won't be until after the market and economy have had an opportunity to digest the new tariff rates that become effective on Friday that we will know where we stand,' said Michael O'Rourke, chief market strategist at JonesTrading LLC. Other reports due this week may point to some softening in the economy. Economists expect consumer spending barely grew in June after adjusting for inflation, and other estimates point to a continued slowdown in hiring and uptick in unemployment. They're also projecting an acceleration in the Fed's preferred measure of inflation — the personal consumption expenditures price index — as tariffs start to hit. 'It's not the cliff that most people are always looking for when it comes to an economic downturn, but it is a visible slowdown if you take the time to actually lift the hood and look at the underlying details,' said Gregory Daco, chief economist at EY-Parthenon. Despite all the uncertainty, the stock market is trading at record highs as fears of worst-case tariff scenarios have failed to materialize. The question is how long that can last. 'I think there are a few different factors here. First, there are signals that the labor market is holding up well, wages are growing faster than inflation — both of which supports the consumer in aggregate,' said Cayla Seder, macro multi-asset strategist at State Street. 'When it comes to the stock market, earnings have been beating a low bar, which has indicated the companies are holding up better than feared.' --With assistance from Shelly Banjo and Matt Turner.
