Microsoft revokes cloud services from Israel’s Unit 8200, following +972 exposé
The tech giant blocked access after we revealed the Israeli army had been using its servers to store millions of Palestinians' intercepted phone calls.
Microsoft has terminated the Israeli army’s access to technology it was using to store vast troves of intelligence on Palestinian civilians in the West Bank and Gaza, the tech giant informed Israel’s Defense Ministry in a letter late last week, according to the Guardian.
The decision followed an exposé last month by +972 Magazine, Local Call, and the Guardian revealing how Unit 8200, the Israeli army’s elite cyber warfare agency, was housing intercepted recordings of millions of mobile phone calls by Palestinians on Microsoft’s cloud platform, Azure, creating one of the world’s most intrusive collections of surveillance data over a single population group. According to the joint investigation, this data has been used over the past two years to plan lethal airstrikes in Gaza, as well as to arrest Palestinians in the West Bank.
As far as is known, this is the first time a major U.S. tech company has revoked the Israeli army’s access to any of its products since the start of its war on Gaza. Microsoft nonetheless continues to work with other Israeli military units that are longstanding clients.
Microsoft’s letter to the Israeli Defense Ministry, which was seen by the Guardian, noted that the company had launched an “urgent” external inquiry following our exposé, finding that the Israeli army had violated Microsoft’s terms of service by utilizing its cloud platform to store the surveillance trove. According to the Guardian, the letter stated that because the company “identified evidence” in support of our reporting, it had decided to suspend the storage and AI services connected to the project under review. It added that Microsoft “is not in the business of facilitating the mass surveillance of civilians.”
On Thursday, the Guardian reports, Microsoft’s vice chair and president, Brad Smith, sent an email to staff informing them of the decision, explaining that the company had “ceased and disabled a set of services to a unit within the Israel ministry of defense.” He added: “We do not provide technology to facilitate mass surveillance of civilians. We have applied this principle in every country around the world, and we have insisted on it repeatedly for more than two decades.”

According to the Guardian, Unit 8200 swiftly transferred the trove of surveillance data out of Microsoft’s servers abroad within days of our investigation being published; according to their sources, the unit planned to transfer the data to the Amazon Web Services cloud platform instead, upon whose services the army has also grown increasingly dependent since October 7.
Still, many other Israeli military projects involving Microsoft’s services remain unaffected. In January, an investigation by +972, Local Call, and the Guardian based on leaked documents from Israel’s Defense Ministry and Microsoft’s Israeli subsidiary revealed that the tech giant “has a footprint in all major military infrastructures in Israel,” with dozens of Israeli army units — including in the air, ground, and naval forces — relying on Microsoft’s cloud services. Moreover, during the most intense period of Israel’s aerial bombardment of Gaza, sales of Microsoft’s AI services to Israel’s Defense Ministry rose significantly.
The mass surveillance project housed on Microsoft’s cloud servers was born in November 2021, when Yossi Sariel, then-commander of Unit 8200, traveled to the tech giant’s headquarters in Seattle to meet with CEO Satya Nadella. According to an internal Microsoft document summarizing the meeting, obtained by the Guardian, Sariel informed senior company officials that he wanted to store vast quantities of intelligence — up to 70 percent of the unit’s data, including highly classified material — on Azure servers.
An intelligence officer told +972, Local Call, and the Guardian that prior to its partnership with Microsoft, Unit 8200 only had the storage capacity on its internal servers to house recordings of the phone calls of tens of thousands of Palestinians whom the army defined as “suspects.” But thanks to Azure’s near-limitless storage capacity, the unit could begin saving the intercepted calls of many more Palestinians across Gaza and the West Bank on its servers, enabling what multiple Israeli sources described as the project’s ambitious goal: to store “a million calls an hour.”
This mass collection of surveillance data allowed the army to obtain potentially incriminating information on virtually any Palestinian in the West Bank — data that could, in practice, be used for blackmail, placing people in administrative detention, or even retroactively justifying killings.

Health minister concedes tobacco black market has 'exploded'
Health Minister Mark Butler has conceded the tobacco black market has "exploded" into the biggest threat to public health in Australia.
Mr Butler admitted on Adelaide local radio that organised crime had recently taken a "stranglehold" over the illicit tobacco market.
"It started in Melbourne and it spread right through the country. It means that there is violence and arson taking place as rival gangs try to take control of what is a very high-revenue market for them," the minister told FiveAA.
"It bankrolls all of their other criminal activity: their sex trafficking, their drug trafficking, all of the crimes that have very serious victims involved.
"From a health minister's perspective, it is now the biggest threat to our most important public health program."
The government announced an additional $156.7 million to fight the "relentless" illegal tobacco trade in March, after witnessing a massive turn away from legal purchasing to the black market.
The price of cigarettes has been pushed up dramatically over the past decade, as the federal government has repeatedly raised tobacco taxes to discourage smoking.
The duty on a packet of 20 cigarettes has risen from $10.62 in 2015 to $28.06 today — but the most recent federal budgets have revealed a collapse in revenue from the excise, suggesting a significant shift by smokers to buying from the black market.
Earlier this week, the Australian Medical Association warned the availability of illegal tobacco in the past 12 to 18 months appeared to be leading to a rise in smoking rates — a reversal in their long-term downward trajectory.

Beleaguered Townsville Mayor Troy Thompson resigns, vows to run again
A Queensland mayor under investigation overmisrepresenting his military, education and business credentialshas announced his resignation.
Troy Thompson was elected as Townsville's mayor in April 2024.
He was suspended by the state government on full pay for 12 months in November, amid an ongoing Crime and Corruption Commission investigation.
Cr Thompson had been under pressure to resign after conceding in May 2024 he had falsely declared details of his military record and university degrees.
In a statement posted on social media on Friday, Mr Thompson said he was standing down a month before his suspension period was due to end.
"This resignation is not an admission of wrong-doing," he said.
"It is a deliberate and principled stand to protect the democratic rights of the people of Townsville."
The resignation comes just a week after Local Government Minister Ann Leahy issued Mr Thompson with a show-cause notice, asking him why he should not be dismissed.
Ms Leahy issued the show cause notice after being briefed by the Crime and Corruption Commission, which has been investigating Cr Thompson for more than a year.
Ms Leahy said the briefing had raised serious allegations.
Mr Thompson has maintained he was the victim of political interference.
"I was elected by 53,956 people with a clear mandate, yet the premier and minister are attempting to use government bureaucracy to overturn that decision," he said.
Mr Thompson said he would run again as mayor, with a by-election expected to be declared.
"Nothing in the law prevents me from running again," he said.

Donald Trump imposes 100 per cent tariffs on branded pharmaceuticals
The United States will impose a 100 per cent tariff on imports of branded or patented pharmaceutical products from October 1, unless a pharmaceutical company is building a manufacturing plant in the US, President Donald Trump said on Thursday.
"There will, therefore, be no Tariff on these pharmaceutical products if construction has started," Trump said on Truth Social.
Pharmaceutical drugs imported to the US were already slapped with a 25 per cent tariff in May.
The US president said the new tariff on any branded or patented pharmaceutical product would apply to all imports unless the company had already broken ground on a manufacturing plant in the United States.
In July, Mr Trump threatened to hit drug manufacturers with a tariff as high as 200 per cent if they did not move manufacturing to the US.
Pharmaceutical products are one of the top export markets for Australia to the US, worth around $1.6 billion in 2023-24.
However, much of those exports relate to one Australian company, CSL, which sends vast quantities of plasma and other blood products to the United States.
Several major pharma companies based here have previously told ABC News that they will not be affected as they do not export to the US.
CSL has been contacted for comment.
Pharmaceutical companies Clairty, Neuren and Telix have also been contacted for comment.
The company, which also makes vaccines, already has production capacity in the US, with about 19,000 people employed there.
This includes hundreds of blood collection centres, a plasma processing facility in Illinois, and a vaccines plant in North Carolina.
In 2024, the US imported nearly $US233 billion ($357 billion) in pharmaceutical products, according to its Census Bureau.
The prospect of prices doubling could potentially increase costs of Medicare and Medicaid in the US.

Israeli Strikes Wreck Yemeni Capital In Revenge Attack
A wave of Israeli strikes hit the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, which is held by the Houthis (Ansar Allah), on September 25, causing casualties and destruction.
As the attack was taking place, Defense Minister Israel Katz lauded what he called “powerful” strikes against targets of the Houthis in Sanaa.
“The IDF (Israeli Defense Forces) struck several military camps, including a camp of the Houthi general staff, eliminated many dozens of Houthi terror operatives, and destroyed stockpiles of UAVs and weaponry,” the minister said in a statement.
Later, the IDF said in a statement that the strikes, carried out by the Israeli Air Force (IAF), hit targets belonging to the Houthis’ “security and intelligence apparatus” and army, including a headquarters of the group’s’ general staff; compounds belonging to security and intelligence apparatus; the headquarters of the group’s “propaganda department”; and other military camps where weapons were stored and operatives were gathered.
Some 20 IAF fighter jets dropped more than 65 munitions on seven targets during the attack, which the IDF said included aerial refueling.
Footage from Sanaa showed large blasts within the city itself, with the Houthi-run Health Ministry later reporting that the Israeli strikes killed two people and wounded more than 48 others.

Denmark Alerts NATO After Mystery Drone Incursions Disrupt Airports
European countries have over the last several weeks been growing more vocal over alleged Russian-backed 'hybrid attacks' on their infrastructure, and the latest focal points have been airports.
Denmark now says its airports are under threat from mysterious unauthorized drones, and was forced to close Aalborg airport - one of the nation's largest - for several hours Wednesday evening. The international airport is located in the northern Jutland region and facilitates commercial and at times military flights.
This comes after on Monday Copenhagen airport was temporarily closed due to a drone incursion. Danish authorities say they can't rule out a prank, but have pointed to professional actors being behind the incidents. "Aalborg, Esbjerg, Sonderborg and Skrydstrup airports were all affected overnight on Thursday," European sources indicate.
There were additional UAV sightings near military bases, in a series of incidents which took place between 10pm on Wednesday and about 1am on Thursday:
The Danish military said it had seen drones at “several military installations” – including Skrydstrup airbase and the The Jutland Dragoon Regiment barracks in Holstebro, warning it may “take down” drones at military sites.
Police in Denmark and in Sweden said they were investigating multiple reports of drone sightings – including over Danish oilfields and in Stockholm.
Defence Minister Troels Lund Poulsen in a Thursday news briefing used the words "hybrid attack" that appears part of a "systematic operation" - but also disclosed that the drones were deployed locally.
The goal is to supposedly sow fear and division, again suggesting Danish authorities believe external state actors are behind the incidents:
"There can be no doubt that everything points to this being the work of a professional actor when we are talking about such a systematic operation in so many locations at virtually the same time. This is what I would define as a hybrid attack using different types of drones."

Biden Judge Assigned to Comey’s Criminal Case
US District Judge Michael Nachmanoff was ‘randomly’ assigned to Comey’s case after the former FBI agent was indicted on two federal criminal counts by a jury in the Eastern District of Virginia.
“Nachmanoff, who sits in a federal courthouse in Alexandria, Virginia, has had some brushes with Trump world before. As a federal magistrate judge, Nachmanoff presided over the 2019 arraignment of two associates of Rudy Giuliani — Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman — who were charged with campaign finance violations. He released them on a $1 million bond,” Politico reported.
