Amazon chief Jeff Bezos had his phone hacked when he received a WhatsApp message sent from the personal account of Mohammed bin Salman (aka MBS) in 2018. Guardian reports that the two had "attended a dinner together in Hollywood a few weeks earlier, [...] as part of the young crown prince’s tour of America, which was hailed by some observers as an effort to rebrand the kingdom and set it on a new course."

Citing unnamed sources, the publication added that a forensic analysis revealed that it is "highly probable" the video contained malware that infiltrated Bezos’s phone and managed to steal a large amount of data in a few hours. Bezos had nothing to fear since the two were reportedly engaged in a friendly WhatsApp exchange when this malicious file dropped on May 1.
