According to a shocking report, the mobile phone of Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos was reportedly hacked by Saudi Arabian prince in 2018, during a friendly WhatsApp exchange. Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman sent a malicious video file to Bezos that infiltrated the latter's phone. The encrypted file was sent to Bezos on May 1, 2018. Saudi embassy, however, rebuffed all the claims and called the report 'absurd'.
