un calling for investigation:

United Nations experts say they are "gravely concerned" by information that suggests Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman was involved in a hack of Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos. The team says it is aware of a forensics analysis of Bezos' phone that concluded a WhatsApp account belonging to bin Salman was used to deliver spyware to Bezos' phone, resulting in a massive amount of information being exported from the device.

The UN experts said in their statement that they "recently became aware" of a forensic analysis of Bezos' phone which assessed that it was infiltrated on May 1, 2018, with a video file sent from a WhatsApp account utilized personally by bin Salman.

According to the assessment seen by the UN experts, a "massive" amount of information was exported from Bezos' phone starting within hours of the video being sent. The data spike continued undetected over some months and altogether, more than 6 gigabytes of data was stolen, according to the experts' summary of the report.

"The forensic analysis assessed that the intrusion likely was undertaken through the use of a prominent spyware product identified in other Saudi surveillance cases," the UN experts said in their statement.
