The investigators of Amazon chief’s release of intimate images believes that Saudi Arabian authorities were behind it.

According to the security officer of Amazon boss Jeff Bezos 

the Saudi Arabian authorities hacked into his phone, and obtained private data from it. 

Gavin De Becker, a longtime security consultant, launched the investigation after the National Enquirer published intimate texts between Bezos and his mistress, a television anchor Lauren Sanchez.

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.

"Our investigators and several experts concluded with high confidence that the Saudis had access to Bezos' phone, and gained private information," de Becker wrote on The Daily Beast website.

Last month,  the incident came into light when Mr Bezos acccused the owner of the tabloid of threatening him to publishing the ”intimate photos" that he allegedly sent to Ms Sanchez unless he did not publicly state that the tabloid's coverage of him was not politically motivated.
