Plus, tips on how to avoid what happened to Bezos from happening to you or a wealthy friend.

Keep your pants zipped if you’re a married man with another woman. That was the short version of the takeaway from the 1987 hit movie, Fatal Attraction.
Fast forward to 2019.
CNBC reports that the wealthy are obviously more targeted by hackers than the ordinary are. Here are some tips, followed by a video on what the meaning of all this might mean for Amazon investors.
• Very wealthy people are often targets for criminal hackers, tabloids, and rivals, but there are steps anyone can take to avoid exposing sensitive personal and business communications.
• Watch your passwords, download a secure messaging app and make sure the other party you’re texting with is on board.
• Secure texting shouldn’t be viewed as something “shady” — it’s needed for everything from sharing confidential business plans to responding to breaches.
One last thought on this, is that this does have a factory-built housing tie in. Bezos’ led Amazon Alexa Fund has put a few million into a prefab operation in 2018. When there’s tens of billions available, don’t think for a second that its likely to be the only investment by one of the largest firms in the world into factory built housing.
