A bug was discovered in Apple’s FaceTime services yesterday evening and news of its existence has rocketed around the world. The bug allows members of a group FaceTime call to eavesdrop on what’s happening with other users — before those users have answered or even if they’ve declined the call. The bug is so easy to replicate for users of iOS 12.1 that Apple has taken group FaceTime offline for now while they work on a fix.
