MYB: Hack attack exposes major security loophole with Amazon and Apple

(CNNMoney) - The recent hacking of Mat Honan was doubly shocking: he's a writer for tech Bible Wired, and hackers were able to crack his account with non-technical ease.

Here's the scariest part: Anyone with both an Amazon account and an Apple ID is potentially vulnerable to the same attack.

The two companies say they're working to close the security gaps exposed by Honan's hack, but they were tight-lipped on Tuesday about the details of what changes they're making.

Poppy Harlow explains Honan's situation on Early Start this morning and discusses the security concerns the incident has raised.
