Isn’t it entirely possible that MBS simply had a phone that was easier to hack than Bezos? That was the first thing I thought of.

Also, how much of an amateur hacker would you have to be to launch an attack from your own personal device?

It was a phishing scheme. It probably didn’t happen from his device, but someone signed into his device after cultivating the bezoar relationship.
