The crown prince of Saudi Arabia allegedly hacked Jeff Bezos’s phone. The level to which the information on Bezos’s phone was compromised is kind of mind-boggling
Photo: Alex Wong/Getty Images Yesterday afternoon, the Guardian broke the news that Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos had been hacked. Both the extent to which Bezos was compromised and the alleged perpetrator are, to understate it, substantial. According to multiple reports, Bezos’s iPhone X was compromised after Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia sent him a malware-laden video file over WhatsApp.
What high-flown and important conversations were these two men having over WhatsApp? One message, sent on November 8, 2018, contained one of those sexist boomer jokes about how women are always yappin’. The caption of the image reads “Arguing with a woman is like reading the Software License Agreement. In the end you have to ignore everything and click I agree.
FTI’s report hypothesizes that Bezos’s iPhone was compromised with tools procured by Saud al-Qahtani, a close friend of MBS and the head of the Saudi Federation for Cybersecurity, Programming and Drones. Crucially, al-Qahtani also played a role in the state-sponsored killing of Jamal Khashoggi, a columnist for the Bezos-owned Washington Post who was critical of the KSA regime.
