The bug was another black eye for a company that prides itself on its efforts to protect its users' information. CEO Tim Cook has advocated for more privacy regulation and taken subtle shots at companies that use our data to create personalized ads.

Apple also thanked the Thompson family for discovering the bug. Michele Thompson's son found out about the vulnerability while playing Fortnite, CNET reported, and spent the week before it became publicly known trying to warn the company.
