Did amazon reviews get hacked?

1 pointsby rustydevalmost 7 years ago
Seen it in several products, but this one is especially odd: https://www.amazon.com/Bluetooth-Headsets-Wireless-Headphones-Lightweight/product-reviews/B07CQ1M3WZ/ref=cm_cr_dp_d_show_all_btm?ie=UTF8&reviewerType=all_reviews it includes reviews for signal booster, a bronthosaurus phone holder, multiple reviews from the same person, and comments like "loved the tablecloth"

It affects everything from tea leaves to laptops.&quot; <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.reddit.com&#x2F;r&#x2F;technology&#x2F;comments&#x2F;8nlanp&#x2F;amazon_needs_to_get_a_handle_on_its_counterfeit&#x2F;dzx0y2s&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.reddit.com&#x2F;r&#x2F;technology&#x2F;comments&#x2F;8nlanp&#x2F;amazon_n...</a>
