Amazon has revealed an "extensive" fraud operation which compromised the accounts of 100 sellers in 2018.

According to redacted UK legal filings seen by Bloomberg, unknown threat actors managed to break into these accounts and siphon cash from the victims, generated through both loans and sales, before depositing the funds into their own bank accounts.

Amazon said the cyberattack was in operation from May 2018 to October 2018. The full extent of the theft or specific monetary figures has not been made public.
