The Potentially Dangerous FaceTime Bug

The Potentially Dangerous FaceTime Bug

A few people on social media have found out a potentially dangerous and creepy bug that lets you listen to audio through the recipients phone; without them even answering.

In other words, if you see your iPhone ringing with a FaceTime video call, it’s possible that the person calling you could listen to your microphone before you’ve picked up. The bug requires you have an OS that supports Group FaceTime to work, of course.

Whats even worse is if one of these “fake” conference calls is happening, if the recipient hits the power or volume button to ignore the call, it not only broadcasts audio to the ringers phone but video as well!

Apple have taken a worryingly laid back approach to the situation saying how they’ll fix it “sometime in the week”.
