Apple fixes iPhone bug that let Apple Watch owners SPY on your conversations
Sean KeachAPPLE has finally fixed a bug that made it possible to spy on iPhone owners using an Apple Watch.
The bug made use of the Walkie-Talkie feature, a relatively new Apple Watch app that lets you voice-chat with other smartwatch owners. "Although we are not aware of any use of the vulnerability against a customer and specific conditions and sequences of events are required to exploit it, we take the security and privacy of our customers extremely seriously," Apple explained.
"This is another alarming example of the ‘sell it first and fix it later’ attitude that the major tech firms take towards their consumers. "If Apple invested in some [developer cybersecurity] for a change, people might feel slightly better about them the next time this happens."due to a major privacy flaw.
