Two U.N. human rights experts said there's evidence to suggest the 'possible involvement' of the Saudi crown prince in the hacking of Amazon owner Jeff Bezos, and urged a U.S. investigation
Two U.N. human rights experts said Wednesday that there's evidence to suggest the "possible involvement" of the Saudi crown prince in the hacking of Amazon owner Jeff Bezos, and urged a U.S. investigation.
"This reported surveillance of Mr. Bezos, allegedly through software developed and marketed by a private company and transferred to a government without judicial control of its use, is, if true, a concrete example of the harms that result from the unconstrained marketing, sale and use of spyware," the U.N. experts said.
The hack occurred around the same time that numerous other activists critical of the Saudi royal family had their phones hacked, according to the U.N. report.
