Cyber expert asks Flipkart users to reset passwords to avoid fraud

An alleged leaked database can potentially lead to unauthorised transactions from accounts of Flipkart customers who also used grocery platform BigBasket with common user ID and passwords, an independent cyber security expert said on Wednesday. According to the expert Rajashekhar Rajaharia, cyber criminals are selling sets of email addresses and passwords of customers from allegedly leaked databases of BigBasket that match with accounts of e-commerce firm Flipkart and Amazon.

However, he said Amazon sends OTP for login when there is change in browser.
