The Guardian: Bezos's Cellphone Was Allegedly Hacked by Saudi Arabia
--------------------------------------------------------------------

The Guardian reports Jeff Bezos's cellphone was hacked by an infected
video file sent by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. The hacking
reportedly occurred in 2018 and included large amounts of data extracted
from Bezos's phone only hours after he received the video sent by the
Saudi crown prince. Jeff Bezos is the head of Amazon and the owner of
The Washington Post, which reported extensively on the murder of its
columnist Jamal Khashoggi. The CIA says Prince Mohammed ordered
Khashoggi's killing. The Saudi Embassy denies that the kingdom hacked
Bezos's phone.
