I had an AWS account get shut down because Netcraft straight up lied to them that there was some ongoing and active criminal activity and the server needed to be shut down immediately. Obviously no criminal activity, or even simulated criminal activity. It was hosting a web frontend for a common security tool, and they just happened to see the banner while scanning the internet.
I confronted Netcraft about it and they just told me that they didn't actually detect anything like criminal activity, but they need to say that or else Amazon won't take their reports seriously. Pretty fucked IMO.
