AWS marketplace documentation change
Summary
Updated bank verification documentation to reflect entity name change from 'Amazon Payments Europe (APE)' to 'AWS EMEA and Korea invoicing entity', added requirement for official documents only (no screenshots), and added specific accepted document types for Korean sellers
Security assessment
The change adds security documentation by explicitly prohibiting screenshots of bank portals or mobile apps, which helps prevent fraud and ensures proper verification. This is a security best practice to ensure document authenticity, but there's no evidence it addresses a specific security vulnerability or incident.
