UN Calls For Probe Into Hacking Of Jeff Bezos’s Phone

The Telegraph reports:

United Nations experts have called for an “immediate investigation” by the United States into information they received that suggests that Jeff Bezos’ phone was hacked after receiving a file sent from Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s WhatsApp account.

A joint statement from Agnes Callamard, the United Nations special rapporteur for extra-judicial killings, and David Kaye, the UN’s special rapporteur for free expression, said that allegation “demands immediate investigation by U.S. and other relevant authorities”.

UN officials were shown a forensic report commissioned by Bezos’ security team which concluded that his phone probably had been hacked with a tainted video sent from a WhatsApp account belonging to Saudi’s crown prince Mohammed bin Salman.
