About the team

Account Integrity (AIT) protects Amazon customer accounts from the moment they are

created. We keep bots and abusive

automation out of our authentication flows, and shut down bad actor accounts before they

can be used for fraud or abuse. We also own Amazon's defense against impersonation scams detecting scam contacts across email, chat, and phone, taking down fraudulent URLs,

giving customers a way to confirm that a message genuinely came from Amazon, and partnering

with law enforcement and consumer advocacy groups to hold offenders accountable.

We combine machine learning at scale, deep risk expertise, and operational rigor to stay

ahead of adversaries who adapt every day. What we are ultimately protecting is the trust

that makes Amazon work.
