 | Risk to Small Business: 2.111 = Severe: When a company the size of Amazon is involved, issues regarding the erosion of customer loyalty and loss of brand equity can be measured in six-figure range digits. Although the breach exposed the tax data of 400,000 sellers on Amazon, only 0.2% of the seller base, and was rectified immediately, it remains to be seen what the long-term effects for enterprise customers are. |
 | Individual Risk: 2.428 = Severe: Tax data can reveal significant information on Amazon sellers, but the breach was contained and it is likely that no data was maliciously harvested. At the same time, the glitch allowed users to view details of other sellers, which could potentially place sensitive business details in jeopardy. |
