Apple fixes FaceTime bug that let hackers listen in secretly

Apple has fixed a bug that allowed people to secretly listen and watch you via FaceTime, and apologised for the delay. The company has also reactivated group FaceTime, a feature which was turned off while it dealt with the issue.

The flaw was discovered by 14-year-old Grant Thompson (Apple says Daven Morris of Arlington, Texas, spotted it too) and reported to Apple on 19 Jan 2019. Thompson realised that a user could set up a group FaceTime call that enabled them to both see and hear a recipient without them answering the call.

It was possible for a FaceTime caller to call a contact and, before they answered, add themselves as an additional participant. The other caller would see an alert inviting them to the call, but even while the call was ringing the microphone would be switched on so the caller could hear them - even if the phone was locked.
Should the recipient choose not to join the call, they might press the power button on the side of the phone to reject it, or toggle the volume controls to turn the sound down. However, in so doing the camera would switch on. The recipient wouldn't be aware of this as it would still look like the call was incoming and unanswered.https://www.ttspy.com/the-ultimate-couples-location-tracker-for-and...
