However, there was interference on and off all day with getting these websites to come up on-line to shopping customers, which is the problem I had; it turns out that all customers east of the Mississippi River in the US were having this problem. Amazon indicated that someone or something was interfering with their contractor's website through which IP addresses must pass. Since I'm not very computer literant, I really don't understand all that, but I do now understand that our accounts were not compromised and, as you suggested, do change our password often. <br /><br />DeeDee Tillotsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01602508098099644096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-88273614685922365012016-10-23T10:03:05.821-04:002016-10-23T10:03:05.821-04:00It really helps to have friends that are smart and...It really helps to have friends that are smart and are logical in the way they think and also love solving puzzles.

I've checked the internal message boards that I have access to and nobody there seems concerned, other than sales being slightly lower than normal for some people. In our experience, October is typically slightly lower than normal anyhow.<br /><br />As always, make your password difficult and change it on a regular basis.Kevin Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05795747155781311686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-28684581934286507832016-10-22T15:50:31.965-04:002016-10-22T15:50:31.965-04:00We watched a show on TV where the people were put ...We watched a show on TV where the people were put in an escape room.

I'm sure you have heard or read this week about the Russians who have cracked the "firewall" (for loss of a better word) of their website here in the U.S. and have cracked eBay's website and other lesser known websites. Before I start my Christmas shopping, as a customer, I would like to know more, and since you have more of a business relationship with Amazon, maybe they are a little more forthcoming with you regarding the hacking and what they have done to safeguard our accounts. Lately, in the news our FBI has found a US defense contractor (by their finding evidence in his home and car) who has been a facilitator of the Russian hacking, but that is like shutting the barn door after the cows are out! <br /><br />Dee<br />Summerville, SC, USADee Tillotsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01602508098099644096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-72994206504177124342016-10-22T13:24:47.854-04:002016-10-22T13:24:47.854-04:00Sounds like a fun way to enjoy a rainy day.Sounds like a fun way to enjoy a rainy day.our awesome travelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13031755671050584629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-39818698592322578802016-10-22T12:53:19.667-04:002016-10-22T12:53:19.667-04:00I have never heard of escape rooms!
