Update: Amazon comment
An Amazon spokesperson gave Android Central the following comment: "We are removing the images in question and have taken action on the bad actor."
  • Earbud product listings on Amazon's online storefront have been hijacked and vandalized.
  • Product images have been replaced with images displaying strong racist language.
  • The results are believed to be the result of a security breach playing off of current political tensions.
