A semi good news from this is for the politicians to know that: "If Bezos' phone can be hacked by Saudis, so can all the politicians' phones and their office workers' phones."
A good story to tell next time when politician want to enact some new law to weaken the security of phone, for Apple/Android to build security holes for the "law enforcement / governments".
- amsau 8y agoWhy would anyone assume that politicians phones weren’t hacked? If anything this behavior, of invading privacy and trying to control people by blackmailing them, happened to the richest man in the world. A lot of things mentioned in this article is similar to what happened with Alabama governer Robert Bentley. Early 2016, a leaked recordering of his conversation with his mistress was leaked to media (unknown source) Then a year later his wife screenshot his iMessage conversations with his mistress Rebekah! And everyone thinks it’s the wife. Between 2016-2017 and before the wife screenshot these photos there was an organized campaign against Alabama governer. Who by the way: - Supoorted Kasich to run for president - took down a confederate flag - was planning a settlement for Syrian refugee.. Just think of this, what if Trump was able to hack every congressman phone? What gave national acquirer the confidence to black Bezos? Unless of course they’ve done it too many times to too many people. The question who are these victims? We need to know who is/was used as a tool to implement Trump and kushner agenda.
- gurumeditations 8y agoIf they tried to blackmail Bezos, then imagine how many senators and representatives they may have blackmail on. This is a true crisis.

Something like that already happened: https://www.democracynow.org/2014/8/1/john_brennan_faces_calls_to_resign https://www.democracynow.org/2014/8/1/john_brennan_faces_cal... So what will we do if it happens and we find out. I guess he'll just apologize and we'll pretend it never happened? It worked like that last time: http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/cia-spied-senate-committee http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/cia-spied-senate-committee > According to CIA spokesperson Dean Boyd, agency director John Brennan apologized
- amsau 8y agoThat’s not the same. The cia didn’t hack phones and blackmailed businessmen and politicians. Are you trying to change the topic?
- rdtsc 8y agoI quoted your line about executive branch spying on the members of the senate so I replied to that part. It wasn't just a theoretical possibility. > The cia didn’t hack phones and blackmailed businessmen and politicians. We know they hacked the devices of senators and even apologized for it later. Did the blackmail them? Could be. How do you know they didn't? Bezos was probably the rare case where he exposed their blackmail, in most cases, because of what it is, blackmail is something that is kept secret.
