Microsoft investigates Israeli military’s use of Azure cloud storage

Microsoft's Investigation: Microsoft is investigating the use of its Azure cloud platform by Israel's military surveillance agency, Unit 8200, following concerns that employees in Israel may have withheld information about the agency's storage of intercepted Palestinian phone calls.

Concerns and Reactions: The investigation was prompted by a report revealing Unit 8200's extensive use of Azure for intelligence purposes, leading to doubts among Microsoft executives regarding the transparency of their Israeli staff, while a worker-led group has demanded the company sever ties with the Israeli military.
