Saudis gained access to Amazon CEO Bezos' phone: Bezos' security chief
The security chief for Amazon chief executive Jeff Bezos said on Saturday that the Saudi government had access to Bezos' phone and gained private information from it.
Gavin De Becker, a longtime security consultant, said he had concluded his investigation into the publication in January of leaked text messages between Bezos and Lauren Sanchez, a former television anchor who the National Enquirer tabloid newspaper [had] said Bezos was dating.
Last month, Bezos accused the newspaper's owner of trying to blackmail him with the threat of publishing "intimate photos" he allegedly sent to Sanchez unless he said in public that the tabloid's reporting on him was not politically motivated.

> Bezos didn't agree to have his email account accessed by the Saudis.
Sorry, I'm not buying the "poor Bezos" line. He has pissed off enough people during his life that it's obvious his personal life would be a target for someone. He has enough money to pay for NSA grade (or better?) security for his email.

Plenty of corporate giants have had security breaches despite having clear motivations to prevent them.
It's not romantic to exchange PGP keys and good security practices with your lover. :-)
