Apple bug lets iPhone users listen in on others via FaceTime


Cuomo: FaceTime bug is an egregious breach of privacy that puts New Yorkers at risk.

SAN FRANCISCO: Apple Inc customers discovered a software bug that lets people listen in on other users by way of the company’s FaceTime video chat service in one of the biggest privacy-related problems faced by the company.

The bug allows a user to call someone on FaceTime and automatically begin hearing the other person before they pick up the call. The other person isn’t aware that the caller can hear them.
