Bug in Hide My Email Calls Apple’s Privacy Into Question

Friends, here is a note from the privacy and cybersecurity world.

According to a researcher, Apple’s Hide My Email has a bug that could expose users’ real email addresses instead of disposable ones.

404 Media says it tested the issue and confirmed that it reproduced in practice.

Tyler Murphy says Apple was alerted to the problem more than a year ago, but no fix has been confirmed so far. The details are being withheld to avoid abuse.

Why it matters: people choose such tools for protection, and a failure can put personal data at risk.

Do you think a “privacy” label is enough to trust a service today?
