What surprises me a bit about this is that you can just exfiltrate several gigabytes of data from the phone of someone with crazy money and a more than passing acquaintance with technology(not sure how techie Bezos is personally but he clearly knows something about hiring tech expertise).
Short of using some near-zero-function General Dynamics Mission Systems horror phone you can’t really pay for much OS/app level security above the commercial standard; but traffic analysis and IDS type stuff is something you can add on for money, and not overwhelming amounts of it; and if someone is watching in that way bulk exfiltration is hard to hide.
Did he in fact have this and that’s why he brought in a forensics team? Did he just assume that he wasn’t a target? Didn’t want IT scrutinizing what his personal phone does?
