Incident response plan
Version 1.0, adopted 14 October 2026. Reviewed at least every 6 months.
Scope
This plan covers any event that may expose Amazon Information or the credentials used to reach it: Selling Partner API keys and refresh tokens, Seller Central sign-in, the FBA Hub account, the Keepa key, and the computer FBA Hub runs on.
Examples:
- A failed sign-in or new device in the FBA Hub security log that was not the account holder.
- A lost or stolen computer or phone.
- Malware on the computer.
- A key pasted somewhere public.
- Amazon reporting unusual API use.
Roles
- Incident lead: the business owner, James Bachmeier. Decides when an incident has occurred, carries out the response and handles all notifications.
- Amazon security contact: security@amazon.com, for any incident involving Amazon Information.
- Outside help: Apple Support and a local IT professional for device recovery and malware removal, when needed.
Response steps
- Detect. Check the FBA Hub security log for failed sign-ins, paused sign-ins and new devices. Watch for alerts from Amazon, Keepa, Apple and the browser.
- Contain, within 1 hour of detection.
- In FBA Hub → Settings, remove the Amazon store connection; this deletes the stored refresh token.
- Revoke the extension access token and remove unknown devices.
- In the Solution Provider Portal, rotate the app's LWA client secret and re-authorize the app to issue a new refresh token.
- Change the Seller Central, FBA Hub and Keepa passwords, and regenerate the Keepa key.
- Disconnect an affected computer from the network.
- Notify Amazon, within 24 hours of detection. Email security@amazon.com about any incident that involves or may involve Amazon Information. Include:
- what happened and when it was detected
- what information or credentials may be affected
- the steps taken so far
- a contact for follow-up
- Investigate. Work out how it happened from the security log, device history and account activity, and what was accessed.
- Recover. Restore from a clean state, reconnect the store with new credentials, and confirm normal operation.
- Learn. Within 2 weeks, write down the cause and the changes made so it does not recur, and update this plan.
Records
Each incident is recorded with:
- the detection time
- the time Amazon was notified
- the actions taken
- the outcome
Records are kept for at least 3 years.
Review
The incident lead reviews this plan at least every 6 months, and after any incident or significant change to how FBA Hub works. Each review is recorded in FBA Hub → Security.
