I learned the details from the CBC yesterday of how Jeff Bezos who is the richest man in the world ($110 billion plus) had his phone hacked by one of the most notorious men in the world - Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

Here we are in 2020 finding out about it.
The UN report points to Pegasus malware, which was bought by Saudi Arabia from the cyber arms dealer NSO Group who developed it. It also could have been software Galileo, another Hacking Team product.
How do you think the investigation went? I checked in the joke file to find out:
Hey officer, how did the hackers escape? No idea, they just ransomware
