A researcher claims that Saudi Arabia hacked the smartphone of Amazon founder and CEO, Jeff Bezos, report experts International Institute of Cyber Security (IICS), the best ethical hacking institute. The researcher, Gavin de Becker, was hired by Bezos to determine how the tabloid National Enquirer had gained access to the CEO’s private messages.

the coverage of the incident conducted by The Washington Post. So far, Saudi
Arabia has not yet made any official statement about what Mr. De Becker holds.

current owner of The Washington Post. According to the reports gathered by the
experts from the best ethical hacking institute, Gavin de Becker’s research has

conclude, with a high level of certainty, that Saudi Arabia got access to Mr.
Bezos’s phone and agreed to confidential information,” says Becker through
the Daily Beast website.

The investigation has taken place after Bezos
accused American Media Inc., the National Enquirer’s headquarters of blackmail,
alleging that the company demanded him to dismiss the alleged political
motivations of the tabloid in exchange for not posting their intimate photos.

Bezos held an affair, including allegedly real photos and text messages.

hacking institute, de Becker also ensured that American Media Inc. demanded him
to declare that the investigation had concluded without being able to verify
that the company had resorted to hacking tactics to obtain confidential
information of Jeff
Bezos
.

government was in an attack campaign against The Washington Post because of the
articles written by Jamal Khashoggi. 
“The Saudi Arabian government has tried to affect Bezos’s image
since late last year because of the coverage TWP has made on Khashoggi’s
murder,” the investigator said.

American Media INC. Has not made a single
statement on these allegations so far; moreover, ensure that, in conducting
these reports on Bezos, they have not violated the law.
