Jeff Bezos' Phone Account Hacked


While the FBI spends months of computing time and millions of dollars to crack an iPhone, others do it with a single text message. In case you haven’t heard, the iPhone X of Amazon’s boss Jeff Bezos got hacked… in 2018. That in itself was news enough, but things got more interesting after the blame for the attack was put on the Saudi crown prince. As absurd as it might seem at first, there actually is an explanation that makes sense. br />

Within hours of receiving an encrypted video file, there was a spike in data exiting Bezos' phone, according to U.N. experts. "The amount of data being transmitted out of Bezos’ phone changed dramatically after receiving the WhatsApp video file and never returned to baseline," U.N. experts said Wednesday in a report published by Vice News.
