The Saudi embassy in Washington has dismissed a media report suggesting that the kingdom was behind the hacking of the mobile phone of Washington Post owner and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, Eurasia Diary reports citing Aljazeera.
Citing unnamed sources, British daily The Guardian reported on Tuesday that the billionaire's phone was hacked in 2018 after receiving a WhatsApp message that was apparently sent from the personal account of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS).
"Recent media reports that suggest the kingdom is behind a hacking of Mr Jeff Bezos' phone are absurd," Saudi Arabia's embassy said on its Twitter account.
"We call for an investigation on these claims so that we can have all the facts out."
