Update: there’s a follow up phishing attack email you might get a couple days later. The included links to the phishing server are not shown here, but the email states:

Hello from Amazon.com!
As a precaution, we’ve reset your Amazon.com because you may
have been subject to a “phishing” scam.
Here’s how phishing works:
A scam artist sends an e-mail, which is designed to look like it came
from a reputable company such as a bank, financial institution, or
retailer like Amazon.com, but is in fact a forgery. These e-mails
direct you to a web site that looks remarkably similar to the
reputable company’s web site, where you are asked to provide account
information such as your e-mail address . Since that web
site is actually controlled by the phisher.
