| Subject: Jeff Bezos’ phone allegedly hacked by Saudi clown prince’s WhatsApp message Tue Jan 21, 2020 7:24 pm | |
| New evidence suggests that data from Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos’ phone was hacked in 2018 by Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman, according to a report. The Guardian reports that Bezos and Salman had talked via WhatsApp before the hack and that an encrypted message sent by Salman’s number most likely contained a malicious video file that was able to infiltrate Bezos’ phone and much of his data. It’s not clear what and how much data was taken, nor what the data could have been used for. Bezos was reportedly targeted because of his company, Nash Holdings, and its ownership of the Washington Post, specifically the paper’s aggressive coverage of Saudi Arabia around the time of the hack.
