CC-licensed picture by Ben Stanfield . A hacker claims to have broken into Steve Jobs’ private Amazon.com account. The hacker is trying to sell details of Jobs’ Amazon.com account to journalists, including Jobs’ purchase history for several years and his credit card number. According to the hacker, who identifies himself as “orin0co,” Jobs is an avid online shopper. Jobs has purchased 20,000 items from Amazon.com in the last 10 years, the hacker says. That’s 2,000 items a year, or more than 5 items a day, every day. “I got myself a hold of this information,” the hacker wrote in an email sent from a secure Hushmail account. “No one else has it. I didn’t misuse it, otherwise Mr. Jobs would long ago change his login detail, wouldn’t he?” Full story after the jump: The hacker claims he sent Jobs a phony but official-looking email that tricked him into logging onto a fake Amazon.com website — a common phishing tactic. The hacker said the scam is an embarrassment for Apple, which claims Macs are less susceptible to “viruses, crashes and headaches.” (See Apple’s new “ Elimination ” ad)
