Overview

• Amazon’s 48-hour event runs October 7–8, with early discounts already live across major categories.
• Access to top discounts requires a Prime membership, with free trial options available; Prime‑only offers include up to 40% off Fire TVs.
• Check Point reports 700+ newly registered Amazon-related domains, with roughly 1 in 18 flagged as malicious or dubious and 1 in 36 containing “Amazon Prime.”
• Common phishing lures cite failed payments or suspended Prime accounts to harvest passwords and card details.
• Security guidance advises navigating directly to amazon.com, avoiding links in emails or PDFs, enabling multi-factor authentication, and using layered protections.
