FAQs
Why do seller accounts get targeted?
They control payouts, listings, and ad spend. Account takeovers can be monetized quickly and cause major operational disruption.
Does isolation stop seller phishing?
It reduces endpoint exposure when users click unknown links and encounter credential theft flows, but strong auth and monitoring remain essential.
What’s a quick win?
Dedicated profiles for admin access, isolation for unknown links, and step-up verification for payout changes.
Do we need to block Amazon access?
No. Isolating risky link-clicks and applying tighter policies around unknown destinations is more practical than broad blocking.
