Apple has patched a major flaw in its Group FaceTime feature that allowed callers to eavesdrop on people they called even if they never picked up. It also said it would pay a reward to the teen that identified the bug. The update comes along with a slew of other fixes in its release of iOS 12.1.4.
The FaceTime bug, CVE-2019-6223, allowed anyone with iOS to FaceTime other iOS users and listen in on their private conversations – without the user on other end rejecting or accepting the call.
