This happened to one of my mates: 1. Ordered some stuff from Amazon using Tor 2. Amazon tracked the change in IP 3. Amazon automatically cancelled the orders and sent a password reset email saying his account may have been compromised



Sounds like bad OPSec. If he used his normal account via Tor he identified himself towards Amazon. Amazon checking against a list of Tor exit nodes and warning customers is a good thing. I say that as a Tor lover.
