Apple, which claims to be a privacy champion, was caught in an awkward situation a few days ago when on the National Privacy Day, a bug was discovered in the FaceTime app. The security vulnerability made it possible to spy on other people running iOS 12.1 or later on their Apple devices. The Cupertino giant has now issued an apology for the security breach, but it is not helping matters since the software update to remedy the problem is nowhere to be seen.

The company says that it has fixed the Group FaceTime security bug on its servers and will roll out a software update next week to re-enable the feature. The company also claims that as soon it became aware of the issue, Group FaceTime was disabled. To recap, the bug worked by adding a third person to the call, which tricked the software into activating the microphone of the target, unbeknownst to them. In some cases, it was even possible to access videos.
