Lost Kindle. Any security/account hacking risk?
My dear wife just realized she left her Kindle on a plane. An international flight, no less. She’s alerted the airline and filled out a form, but I’m pretty sure that thing is long gone. Are there any security or account hacking risks we should be worrying about at this point?

I’d change passwords on anything that was in the kindle, as a prophylactic measure. I’m no nuclear rocket surgeon, though.

you should be ab;e to manage the device being linked to your amazon account from any computer where you can log into amazon.

Notify kindle - it'll be locked out and worthless to the people who have it.

Thanks guys. My wife went online and took care of it. Pretty easy. They called her back withinone minute of her online request.

Yeah I found one on a plane and tried to return it to the rightful owner - by the time I found her, she had reported it lost and replaced it (less than a day), and didn't want it back. They are bricks after that and completely worthless.
