Apple fixes email exposure issue after year and faces lawsuit

Apple has closed a security flaw in the "Hide My Email" feature within the +iCloud service that allowed the disclosure of users' real email addresses through misuse in spam messages. Apple launched this feature in 2021 to enhance privacy, but the vulnerability enabled the leak of users' addresses when they rejected spam messages. The company issued an update in July 2026 to fix the issue. Security researcher Tyler Murphy confirmed that the risks still remain, especially since some addresses created before 2026 may have been exposed. The flaw has also sparked criticisms and a lawsuit alleging misleading practices, amid Apple's reputation for prioritizing privacy in its products.
