Facebook blames Apple for Jeff Bezos' iPhone Hack via WhatsApp

Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos' iPhone was reportedly hacked through messages he received via WhatsApp. A Facebook executive said the incident revealed a security hole in the smartphone operating system, not the messaging app itself.

Facebook Vice President Nicola Mendelsohn told Bloomberg in a comment on the widely reported incident that the hacking of the Bezos iPhone only showed that "some Potential potential vulnerabilities in the phone's actual operating system. "

Bezos' iPhone may have been hacked after receiving a message via Facebook-owned WhatsApp. A 2019 report from FTI Consulting revealed that the news came from Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman, also known as MBS. The message from MBS contains only 4.22MB of video.

Bezos's iPhone began exporting data within hours of receiving the message. Large-scale data breaches are unauthorized and continue for months. Investigators investigating the incident noted that Bezos' smartphones began sending large amounts of data after receiving messages via WhatsApp.

The FTI report states: "The amount of data transferred from Bezos phones has changed dramatically after receiving WhatsApp video files and has never recovered to the baseline state." It jumped about 29,000% immediately. "

The report states that before receiving messages via WhatsApp, Bezos' iPhone sent an average of 430KB of data per day. The report emphasized that this amount "is quite typical of an iPhone." The situation changed after Bezos' smartphone received the message-months after the incident, the data output increased to 126MB within hours, an average of 101MB per day.

According to the Guardian, despite WhatsApp messages being linked to MBS, the Saudi Embassy has denied that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was involved in the hacking. It said each allegation was "ridiculous" and called for an investigation into the matter.

In response to Facebook's Mendelsohn, the social media giant will take any allegations that its applications and services have been used by hackers seriously. However, the executive said the company would not comment on any personal stories. She also said that Facebook will investigate these issues.

No, your iPhone 12 or Samsung Galaxy S30 does not need a charger

The leak indicates that both Apple and Samsung are preparing to sell smartphones, such as the rumored iPhone 12 and Samsung Galaxy S30, which have no packaging box or charging cable. Instead, these companies may require you to purchase a separate charger or use existing technology already at home. It turns out that this is split, because any manufacturer will lose a key part of its technology, but I believe this is the right approach. I think that manufacturers have taken more responsibility for the waste generated by ordinary people buying new technologies. Throwing unnecessary accessories into the box is a bigger step in bending electronic waste and exceeds your expectations. . According to trusted analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the iPhone 12 will not be equipped with EarPods headphones (cheap wired headphones that you can get for free), nor will it land in the box later this year. Shortly after the iPhone 12 rumors, another report indicated that Samsung is considering whether to adopt so...

Apple's cheap iPhone may be released soon and this is how it looks

March is only a few weeks away from us, which means that Apple should probably release some shiny new devices. The American technology company is known for its keynote speeches in the spring, and there are many signs that it won't change in 2020. In fact, a report from the German website iPhone-ticker.de speculated that March 31st (Tuesday) would be the date Apple fans want to appear in the diary. That's obviously not out of reach, but what will Apple really reveal in this rumor? Of course, the US company never revealed anything in advance, but many hope to release updates to the popular iPhone SE. The cheap phone maker hasn't updated in years, and many hope that the lower-priced iPhone will eventually return to the store. Apple's current new smartphones start at £ 729, so those who can't use the iPhone 11 or the flagship iPhone 11 Pro will definitely love this budget model. It's unclear what upgrades the device may undergo, but some new pictures originally...
