AMDOCS has been accused multiple times of being an extension of Mossad, including in the US where the investigations got quietly ended. Leaked cables from 2009 showed they were also on the radar of South Africa's intelligence agency [1].

Thanks for the links! It is very interesting, but I', not sure how/if what kind of influence this has on Matrix. Just because they were born out of a shady company, doesn't invalidate the project. Heck, we're using software (Disassemblers) that are maintained by the NSA (Ghidra) these days. Since they are open source (just like Matrix and Element) we can still be pretty sure that they're not doing anything shady.

shady because of accusations?

I would guess the general idea is that the shadiness causes the accusations, not the other way around.

and what exactly is shady about Amdocs ?
