The 360 | Is a Saudi prince trying to hack U.S. democracy?
Experts working for the United Nations have accused Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman of hacking a phone belonging to Amazon founder Jeff Bezos.
Bezos’s phone was compromised in the same period of time that the Washington Post, a newspaper he owns, was running articles critical of Mohammed. One of the Post’s reporters, Jamal Khashoggi, was murdered at the Saudi consulate in Turkey in an attack the CIA believes was directly ordered by the crown prince.
Story continuesThere’s also broad concern about whether other high-profile people reported to have relationships with the crown prince may have been hacked, including leaders of other tech companies, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and President Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner.
