Apple Releases Fixes for Hide My Email Flaw that Exposes Users’ Real Email Addresses
Apple fixed a problem in its Hide My Email service that could reveal a person’s real email address instead of keeping it private. People who use this feature should update their Apple devices and services to make sure the fix is applied.
Who is at risk
People who use Apple’s iCloud+ Hide My Email feature are most at risk, especially if they rely on it to keep their personal email address private.
What to watch for
Watch for unexpected messages, spam, or account emails arriving at your personal inbox that suggest your real email address may have been exposed.
What to do
Update your iPhone, iPad, Mac, and related Apple software right away, and review any Hide My Email aliases tied to important accounts.
