Huge bug in Facetime!
Apple is scrambling to fix a “snooping” bug in its popular FaceTime app. The bug goes something like this:
1. Call someone from your contacts using FaceTime.
2. Their phone will ring.
3. Use the “Add Person” option to include a new participant in the chat, namely yourself.
Unfortunately, this enables the audio feed from the recipient’s phone *before they answer the call*, so you can hear what they are saying without them realising!
Until the bug has been patched, Apple has apparently disabled the Group Facetime feature entirely, preferring to inflict a service outage than to leave the exploitable privacy hole gaping open.
