Nicole Perlroth, The New York Times; Apple Was Slow to Act on FaceTime Bug That Allows Spying on iPhones
"A
bug this easy to exploit is every company’s worst security nightmare and every
spy agency, cybercriminal and stalker’s dream. In emails to Apple’s product
security team, Ms. Thompson noted that she and her son were just everyday
citizens who believed they had uncovered a flaw that could undermine national
security."
“My fear is that this
flaw could be used for nefarious purposes,” she wrote in a letter provided to
The New York Times. “Although this certainly raises privacy and security issues
for private individuals, there is the potential that this could impact national
security if, for example, government members were to fall victim to this
eavesdropping flaw."
