Calamarei 🩸💀 2.0 Coming Soon 2026 (@CalamareiVT) reportedMy Twitch account was hacked. I don't know how. I don't know how it is possible payment information was changed after 4-5 years of the same payment information. No confirmation email from Twitch about payout method being changed. For the past 5 years as a creator on Twitch I have always received my payouts early. I recently changed my password on Twitch as well via the correct links sent by Twitch staff themselves (yes I know it was authentic as it was about getting a refund and I did receive the refund). I log in today to make sure there is not some sort of issue with the account, payment information needing to be reverified, a tax form, or something else holding up this months payment. I go to review my payment information, which requires 2 factor authentication btw, and the information looks fine until page 2 out of 3. My payout method had been changed to Paypal and an unknown email (10000% do not know or even heard of this email) for the paypal account. I changed the payout immediately. I reset all my connections with Twitch. I also checked my Twitch email. It was my email. My account email still tied to my account. Yet, no emails confirming payout changes, no alerts, nothing. I do not know how I got hacked. I don't know if it was third party. I have been in the IT field for years and consistently am looking out for phishing and scams. However this did happen and I now have a missing $900 and negative funds in my bank. I already reported this to Twitch and am working on reporting the account to PayPal as I type this. But I really 100% believe there needs to be email notifications sent out for any financial information changed on all platforms. I am still appalled that a system like that is not in place for a website associated with Amazon and functions as an employer to pay so many people on the platform. Where are the security protocols? Or just some IT 101 practices from companies. There is no excuse in 2026 to not have confirmation/authorization/notification emails for payout or financial details being changed. Stay safe.

Worldwide News Network (@WorldwideNNX) reportedAMAZON WEB SERVICES FIXES BILLING GLITCH AFTER TRILLION-DOLLAR INVOICES SOME AMAZON CUSTOMERS GOT QUITE A SHOCK WHEN THEY OPENED A RECENT INVOICE.: “Some Amazon Web Service customers say they almost had heart attacks Friday after getting bills big enough to bankrupt Elon Musk. Users who typically pay very little for the company's cloud services got billed billions and in some cases trillions of dollars thanks to a global billing malfunction. One person posted on X, I just saw $1.5 trillion on my Amazon bill and my soul left my body. Amazon said it had identified the root cause and fixed the issue. Nobody needs to panic or cough up a billion dollars. Cooper Lawrence, Worldwide News Network. ”

Friday🔱**** (@MaxiOrdinals) reportedAmazon-owned Zoox has recalled its entire fleet of 105 public-road robotaxis after one of its vehicles drove into a smoke-obscured active fire scene. The incident, which occurred on June 20, highlights potential safety issues with autonomous vehicles. No passengers were on board at the time, but the NHTSA recall document indicates that the vehicle may not have adequately responded to emergency scenes with obscured visibility.

70대자유인 (@vitahyoso) reportedJeff Bezos at Princeton People often remember the lives of the successful only by their dazzling outcomes. The man who built Amazon. The man who dreams of space. Yet behind every major change of direction lies a quiet moment of recognition. Jeff Bezos had such a moment. He entered Princeton wanting to become a theoretical physicist. It was a pure ambition—to explore the fundamental nature of the universe and matter. His grades were excellent. He worked hard. Then, in his junior year, during a quantum mechanics class, he became stuck on a single problem: a partial differential equation. He and his roommate wrestled with it for three hours and still could not solve it. Eventually they took the problem to “the smartest guy at Princeton.” The friend glanced at it and said, “Cosine.” Then, mapping it onto a similar problem he had solved years earlier, he worked through the solution with ease. Bezos watched. The path he had been laboriously groping along was, for this classmate, a road already known. In that moment he realized: “I was never going to be a great theoretical physicist.” It was not a declaration of defeat. It was closer to clear recognition. He understood that while effort could take him a certain distance, some people processed highly abstract concepts almost instinctively. In the world of theoretical physics, he concluded, one had to be among the top fifty people on the planet to make a meaningful contribution. In most other fields, being in the ninetieth percentile was enough. He did not deny the fact. He did not berate himself. He simply accepted it as it was. And then he changed direction. He switched his major to electrical engineering and computer science—toward a place where he could contribute more fully. That choice would later lead him through Wall Street and eventually to Amazon. What is interesting is this: Bezos did not, in that moment, define himself as “not good enough.” He simply acknowledged that he could not be the best in that particular field. When a prediction collides with reality, many people experience the mismatch as a threat and either deny it or rationalize it away. He treated the mismatch as information. He folded the old map and opened a new one. The important turns in life often begin not with dramatic resolutions, but with this kind of quiet acceptance—the ability to see oneself without exaggeration. When that gaze becomes clear, other paths start to appear. What Bezos gained in that Princeton classroom was not the answer to a physics problem. It was the ability to read his own limits accurately, and the attitude of revising his course without resentment. Perhaps that was the most important talent he would later display.

Link Technologies (@LinkTechnlogies) reportedAmazon is being flooded with AI-written “biographies” no one asked for. One writer says someone used AI to publish a fake book about their life. The bigger problem is that thousands of these low-effort AI books are reportedly polluting Amazon’s marketplace. What used to be publishing is starting to look a lot more like spam with a book cover.

David Wasilewski (@dwasilewski305) reportedChris Hunter, as CEO of Koia, told me the Amazon fear every retail brand has: if you launch there, will it cannibalize your shelf space? Koia stayed off Amazon for nine of its first ten years, worried about exactly that. When they finally launched, they became a top 20 brand in a brutal category, and retail velocities went up, not down. Turns out people research on Amazon and still buy in the aisle. The channels weren't competing. They were feeding each other.

Anti-Fraud Advocate (@ScamFinderSam) reportedThis seems like pure projection. 🚨 Notice how @SurvivingCFS suddenly starts screaming about 'laws being broken' and 'money laundering', being 'put on restriction' and displaced?' Money laundering seems to be an odd thing to suddenly start accusing one's facility of at 6:46 AM. On June 8th, this scammer tweeted that her facility told her she's not allowed to fundraise. She proceeded to have 3 more fundraisers. In addition, she posted a bunch of items on her Amazon wish list on 2 separate occasions for people to buy her, which were all bought. Look closely at the highlighted lines below. Is she practically telling us she got caught, AGAIN? Combine that with the repost of her campaign today saying she needs all the help she can get, then followed up by another post saying she desperately needs donations. Did she get kicked out or a warning that she's about to be for running these scam fundraisers? So, she needs fast cash? Her tweets reek of desperation today. Moreso than usual, if that's possible. Kendra is pocketing hundreds of dollars of unreported income every week and instantly hiding it so the state continues to pay for her free room and board. She's been doing this at multiple facilities for years. Not to mention that she lies to get all these followers to get their donations. This is Medicaid fraud. She isn't an advocate, or someone in desperate need—she is a panicked scammer! Maybe real-world rules have finally caught up to her fake online life. Be careful who you are donating to! *Since a facility has to give someone 30 days notice prior to kicking them out, maybe we'll revisit this post in 30 days. @ILAttyGeneral @IDPH

Reformist Canadian Landed Aristocrat (@GmwuLocal) reported@RichLightShed Not only that thought Amazon made it for 60 seconds. DTV and Dish are going to come out swinging against this thing, and just because linear’s dying doesn’t mean it’s not anti-competitive in a massive industry. Thing might have issues at trial in 12 months. Tick tick tick.
