AMAZON force-resets some account passwords

From ZDNet:
http://www.zdnet.com/article/amazon-...tag=TREc64629f

The story so far:

Quote:

In the email, Amazon said it "recently discovered that your [Amazon] password may have been improperly stored on your device or transmitted to Amazon in a way that could potentially expose it to a third party."

It adds: "We have corrected the issue to prevent this exposure."

The email said it has "no reason" to believe passwords were improperly disclosed to a third party but issued a temporary password out of an "abundance of caution."
The story is still developing so the source will be updating the posted story.
Sounds like it might be platform specific.
