«Breaking News» Now Apple faces ANOTHER security problem!

Apple customers may have been exposed to yet another security breach, an expert claims.  

Experts believe a now-resolved iCloud bug allowed complete strangers to read the notes stored on another person's iPhone. 

Worse still, the flaw was allegedly hushed-up by bosses in California, who discreetly fixed the issue before it became public knowledge. 

The news comes just days after it was revealed that a FaceTime glitch allowed the video-calling software to eavesdrop on users.

Fresh concern: Experts believe a now-resolved iCloud bug allowed complete strangers to read the notes stored on another person's iPhone

According to a report in The Hacker News, the breach happened late last year.

Identified by Turkish researcher Melih Sevim, it apparently allowed him to 'view partial data, especially notes, from random iCloud accounts as well as on targeted iCloud users just by knowing their associated phone numbers.' 

He reported it to Apple's security team in November, who 'acknowledged the issue but responded that the company had already addressed it before receiving details from him.'

Apple then apparently closed the ticket without choosing to alert its millions of users, it's reported.

In addition, Sevim also claims the company failed to pay him a reward as part of their 'Bug Bounty' reporting scheme.

'Apple responded [quickly] – we were in frequent communication with them until they fix the flaw,' he told The Sun.

'After their job is done and the flaw is fixed, they stopped the conversation and stopped messaging back to me. Also they didn't give my bounty.'

MailOnline have contacted Apple for comment but are yet to receive a response.

Legal: Apple has been hit with its first lawsuit in the wake of its massive FaceTime bug. A Houston lawyer filed a lawsuit against Apple over a security flaw in its video-calling function

Earlier this week, a Houston lawyer filed a lawsuit against Apple over the FaceTime security flaw, which was discovered by Grant Thompson, a 14-year-old high school student in Tucson, who was trying to play Fortnite with his friends.

The issue appeared to stem from the 'add person' function, confusing it into activating the call recipient's microphone even before the call is accepted. 

The lawsuit was filed on Monday by attorney Larry Williams in Harris County, Texas.

In it, Williams claims that Apple 'failed to exercise reasonable care' and that the company 'knew, or should have known, that its product would cause unsolicited privacy breaches and eavesdropping.'

HOW DID A TEEN DISCOVER APPLE'S FACETIME BUG? 

A teenager from Arizona uncovered a bug that turns iPhones into eavesdropping devices while trying to play a game of 'Fornite' with his friends.

Grant Thompson, a 14-year-old high school student in Tucson, wanted to chat with friends when he discovered a major bug in Apple's popular Group FaceTime feature.

Thompson called his friend Nathan using FaceTime, but Nathan didn't pick up on January 19.

Thompson then swiped up and added another friend, a move that instantly connected him with Nathan, whose phone was still ringing. 

Michele Thompson said she spent days trying to alert the tech giant to the glitch before it announced it was disabling the feature on Tuesday 

The youngster had discovered a bug that allowed him to force other iPhones to answer a FaceTime call, even if the other person doesn't take any action.

Apple has since disabled the 'Group FaceTime' feature, and a software update to fix the bug is expected to be released.

Grant's mother Michele, a lawyer, said she had tried repeatedly to contact Apple about the privacy glitch from the time her son discovered it to the company announcing that it was disabling the feature on Tuesday.

Thompson said she tried everything she could think of to get Apple's attention. She emailed, called Apple and tweeted CEO Tim Cook and even faxed a letter on her law firm's letterhead.  

The document goes on to say that Williams was in the middle of a private deposition with one of his clients when the FaceTime bug 'allowed for the recording' of his private conversation.  

On Wednesday, Governor Andrew Cuomo and new Attorney General Letitia James said the state was examining Apple's failure to warn consumers about the bug.

'We need a full accounting of the facts to confirm businesses are abiding by New York consumer protection laws and to help make sure this type of privacy breach does not happen again,' Cuomo said in a statement.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
