NEW, by me: Amazon won't say if it plans to take action against three phone "stalkerware" apps, despite being notified weeks ago that the tech giant was hosting victims' stolen phone data after the apps each had data breaches.

Amazon won't say if it will stop hosting data from three phone surveillance operations that spilled private data on millions of people.

The stalkerware apps, Cocospy, Spyic, and Spyzie, have collectively compromised over 3.1 million phones, which we know because the apps each had a data breach in February.

We notified Amazon at the time it was storing victims' stolen phone data on AWS. But Amazon chose not to act on that information.

@zackwhittaker Sadly AWS has become somewhat of a "bulletproof" hosting provider these days.
