In a Rush? Here are the Quick Facts!
- Amazon employee data breach exposed email addresses, phone numbers, and building locations.
- The breach stemmed from a vendor security incident, not Amazon’s systems.
- Sensitive data like Social Security numbers or financial information was not compromised.
The data leak includes over 2.8 million lines of information, featuring employees’ names, work contact details, and their assigned work locations.
The cybersecurity firm Hudson Rock says that this breach is part of a larger wave of attacks linked to a critical MOVEit vulnerability (CVE-2023-34362) exploited by a user named Nam3L3ss.
The flaw, discovered in mid-2023, allowed hackers to bypass security protocols, resulting in significant corporate data leaks across finance, healthcare, technology, and retail sectors.
Hudson Rock cybersecurity firm flagged the MOVEit incident, linking it to exposed directories from 25 major companies, revealing names, emails, phone numbers, and internal structures—valuable for phishing and identity theft.

In a Rush? Here are the Quick Facts!
- Anonymous sources told Reuters that Amazon is developing smartglasses for delivery drivers
- The technology will provide detailed guidance including obstacles like aggressive dogs
- The project is presenting challenges like battery performance and the company is concerned workers might not be willing to wear the device during their shifts
According to Reuter’s report, five anonymous sources familiar with the matter have confirmed that the company is developing a new device to optimize and ease the delivery process by guiding the drivers with accurate directions to the client’s door.
The smart glasses are expected to provide detailed navigation on an embedded screen at every stop, during the routes, and even within buildings.
The technology would reduce the delivery time by helping workers avoid obstacles—even aggressive dogs and gates—and save a few seconds at every stop. By using the smart glasses, delivery drivers will have their hands free and won’t need the Global Positioning System device used by the company at hand.
This secret project, known by the internal code Amelia, could help reduce shipping costs but it’s still in development and faces challenges. Sources reported battery limitations and concerns regarding whether or not workers will be willing to wear the device during their shifts. The product could also be delayed—it could take years to finish—or shelved if it doesn’t work as expected.
