Nobody’s safe

If Steve Jobs can fall victim to a phishing scam, then anyone can:

A hacker claims to have infiltrated Steve Jobs’ Amazon.com account, and he’s hoping to sell the CEO’s private information to journalists.

The hacker, who calls himself “orin0co,” claims he fooled Jobs with a phishing scam to gain access to his Amazon account. Jobs’ account history suggests he’s a shopaholic who has purchased 20,000 items from Amazon in the last 10 years, the hacker claims.

“I got myself a hold of this information,” the hacker wrote in an e-mail sent from a secure Hushmail account to Cult of Mac’s Leander Kahney. “No one else has it. I didn’t misuse it, otherwise Mr. Jobs would long ago change his login detail, wouldn’t he?”
