The iPhone of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos was reportedly hacked in May 2018 after receiving a WhatsApp message from the personal account of Saudi crown prince. A massive amount of data was exfiltrated from Bezos’s phone within hours after he received a malicious video file from the Saudi prince, the Guardian newspaper claims. The report says it’s ‘highly probable’ that it exploited an undisclosed zero-day vulnerability of WhatsApp messenger to install malware on Bezos’s iPhone. UN Human Rights Council assesses that the hack was likely carried out using Pegasus mobile hacking tool.
