How did the private photos of Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos end up in the hands of the National Enquirer? A forensic analysis claims that malware sent from the WhatsApp account of the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman was involved.
On Tuesday, The Financial Times reported on the stunning allegation, which comes from a forensic analysis Bezos commissioned to determine the culprit behind the hack. According to the investigation, Prince Mohammed exchanged phone numbers with Amazon's CEO back in 2018 during a dinner in Los Angeles. In May of that year, the prince's WhatsApp account then sent an encrypted video file to Bezos' smartphone that turned out to be malicious.
