Apple Fixes FaceTime Flaw – Security Byte

February 12, 2019 By Corey Nachreiner

Last week I warned you about a serious FaceTime flaw that could allow malicious attackers to snoop through your iPhone’s camera and mic by starting a malicious group call. Apple credited a 14-year-old boy for reporting this vulnerability. This week, Apple released updates to fix this FaceTime issue, and a few others that attackers are exploiting in the wild. Watch today’s video for more information, and go download the updates if you use Apple products.
