Amazon exposed customer names and emails in a 'technical error'

Has anyone received an email from Amazon telling you that your name and email address was exposed? The email looks suspicious to me. It says no need to change your password and the bottom has a link to Amazon without https and Amazon is capitalized in the link. I didn't get one.

In a statement, Amazon said, "We have fixed the issue and informed customers who may have been impacted."

Despite the exposure, Amazon told the affected customers they did not need to change their passwords. But even with just their names and emails exposed, people could attempt to reset their accounts or target their emails for phishing attacks.

Amazon did not answer questions about how many customers were affected by the error nor about how long information was exposed. Amazon's website and systems were not breached, an Amazon spokesperson told CNBC. The company did not say where the customer information was visible.
