Amazon Web Services (AWS) has [shut down infrastructure and accounts](https://www.vice.com/en/article/xgx5bw/amazon-aws-shuts-down-nso-group-infrastructure) linked to Israeli [surveillance vendor NSO Group](https://apple.slashdot.org/story/21/07/19/1527218/despite-the-hype-iphone-security-no-match-for-nso-spyware), Amazon said in a statement. From a report:

_The move comes as a group of media outlets and activist organizations published new research into NSO’s malware and phone numbers potentially selected for targeting by NSO’s government clients. “When we learned of this activity, we acted quickly to shut down the relevant infrastructure and accounts,” an AWS spokesperson told Motherboard in an email._
