How to know if your Amazon account is hacked

Have you ever had a page delivered from Amazon that you did not order? Inflating a seller's rating from online fake orders is known in technical terms as Brushing Scam. In which the customer gets everything from clothes to electronics and even empty packets delivered without ordering.

The hacker creates a tracking number of the order in the Amazon customer's account and marks the package as delivered. Hackers can even give 5 stars on the platform to increase the delivery rating. By sending packages to false addresses through hacking, fake online stores can also be identified as authentic stores.

If no order has been placed from your account that you are not aware of, go back to your account and select the Saved Orders option there.
