Amazon is facing criticism for allowing three stalkerware applications—Cocospy, Spyic, and Spyzie—to store stolen personal data on its cloud servers. Despite being notified weeks prior by TechCrunch about this violation, the company has yet to confirm any actions taken against these apps, which illegally monitor and exfiltrate private information from users' devices. A security researcher revealed that these apps are responsible for compromising 3.1 million individuals. Amazon stated they follow procedures for compliance but have not provided clarity on the urgent privacy concerns raised.
"Amazon's lack of a definitive response regarding stalkerware apps raises concerns about its commitment to privacy and security of its cloud services."
"The three apps, Cocospy, Spyic, and Spyzie, are facilitating the theft of personal data, impacting 3.1 million people without their knowledge."
