What secrets does Jeff Bezos spill behind closed doors?Late Bloomer (2024) Full Pinoy Movie

The Amazon CEO and owner of the Washington Post meets with industry heads, politicians, and regulatory officials as a matter of course. And, as a forensic analysis of Bezos' hacked phone obtained by Motherboard shows, there's a possibility the Saudi government was listening in on those very conversations for months.

The report, by cybersecurity firm FTI Consulting, details how and why investigators hired by the CEO came to believe his iPhone was hacked by the Saudi government. It also, however, notes the extent to which Bezos' phone was completely owned.

"FTI assesses that Bezos' device was compromised on May 1, 2018," reads the report, "and that the compromise resulted in gigabytes of data exfiltration that likely contained sensitive data such as personal photos, text messages, instant messages, emails, and possibly local (eavesdropped) recordings done via the phone's microphone."

In other words, any time from May 2018 until Bezos turned his phone over to FTI in late February 2019, whoever hacked his phone could have been listening in on his phone's mic.

So what was Bezos doing in that 10-month window? His meeting with Donald Trump occurred before then, thankfully, but that doesn't mean there weren't plenty of valuable conversations for a potential spy to overhear.

In July of 2018, Bezos attended the Allen & Company Sun Valley Conference — otherwise known as "summer camp for billionaires." In attendance, according to Business Insider, was a healthy list of major players in the business and technology sector. Like, for example, Eddy Cue, Dara Khosrowshahi, Sheryl Sandberg, Rupert Murdoch, Sam Altman, and current presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg.

July 2018, remember, was shortly after hackers compromised Bezos' phone.

But wait, it gets even wilder. A look at the specific dates of "notable spikes in egress traffic" from Bezos' phone show at least one interesting coincidence.

On Sept. 27, 2019, FTI Consulting found that 511MB of data left the CEO's phone. What else happened on that day? Oh yeah, CNBC reported that Bezos' rocket company Blue Origin won a major contract to supply rocket engines for a joint Boeing and Lockheed Martin venture called ULA.

Importantly, the data extraction from Bezos' phone wasn't restricted to the few dates shown in the chart above. According to FTI Consulting, "in addition to spikes, the daily average jumped from 430KB to 101MB."

In other words, this daily extractionof data from Bezos' phone captured way more than just dick pics and scandalous text messages — that's just what happened to end up in the hands of the National Enquirer.

Imagine what whoever hacked Jeff Bezos' phone could still be sitting on.
