    This just happened to me. I purchased shoes and they shipped via Amazon even though I didn’t buy them there.

    I think that’s part of what people don’t understand. Amazon isn’t a website that sells stuff, they are a dozen infrastructure based industries.

    Shut down their website and they still have the logistics to fulfill for the sites you shop on and their servers are probably hosting them too.

      That’s vertical integration, and the end result for a virus like Amazon is that, left unchecked, they own everything.
