TFA rather implies that MBS is totally full of himself:
> One observer said the alleged targeting of Bezos reflected the ‘personality-based’ environment in which the crown prince operates.
So it seems plausible that he and his advisers just assumed that they were technical enough to avoid attribution.
It does seem that there's more known than suspicious timing:
> The Guardian understands a forensic analysis of Bezos’s phone, and the indications that the “hack” began within an infected file from the crown prince’s account, has been reviewed by Agnès Callamard, the UN special rapporteur who investigates extrajudicial killings. It is understood that it is considered credible enough for investigators to be considering a formal approach to Saudi Arabia to ask for an explanation.
But then, even if they have conclusive evidence that said file is malware, some third party might have compromised MBS' account.
