There's nothing confidential about your email address, it wouldn't seem like something to be concerned about. If the incident bothers you, change it.

Just be ready for lots of spam.

That happened to me years ago. I had to change my email address.

I'm not really concerned. As Elmer said, there's nothing confidential about my email. But the first thing I thought was the same thing Uptown Gal mentioned - oh boy, I'm going to get a boatload of spam. Definitely not clicking on the link and I kind of doubt it really came from Amazon at all.

I think you were wise not to click.

Amazon probably would not sent that message. If they had some where in the message it would have mentioned that you were in a group that had their email exposed rather than an individual. As stated above there is nothing confidential about your email.

At the beginning of the link is shows http:, not https:

Yeah, don't click on it.

I'm no computer geek, but my sis, who is, says look for the https:

Interesting story about this. The Wall Street Journal reported that it is real, and an employee has been fired for taking a bribe. I have to say, the email looks weird with the “http://link”. 

I got the same email. Check the full header. It's not from amazon.

Here's a link to a similar article in the Washington Post, it's apparently real. Rocky's link incomplete.

Amazon email address matter

Yes, just saw the public notice in my Aol feed.

Yes I got it too. It's real. Not concerned.

Maybe the circumstances are real but fishers are using it as a verifiable ploy to get people to respond to their email. Real or not, I never ever click on links inside of an email because you just never know for sure. If you end up needing to contact Amazon about it, I would go to the site directly and chat or call to inquire.

yes, some info did get released, it's been on the news. but it said nothing about Amazon emailing those whose info was exposed. I'd ignore it.
