Following up on the major FaceTime eavesdropping bug that was released earlier this month, a woman has claimed that her teenage son discovered the flaw and warned Apple about it last week. Now a video has surfaced as evidence for the teenager’s discovery dated January 23rd.
The bug, which has yet to be fixed, apparently lets users call anyone via FaceTime, and immediately hear the audio from their device. This occurs before the other user has accepting the FaceTime call.
Apple, in turn, has stated that the issue will be addressed in a software update “later this week”. The company has taken Group FaceTime offline for the time being while it works on a patch.
