Apple has patched a security flaw in its Hide My Email service that allowed real email addresses to be unmasked via bounced spam messages. The bug undermined privacy guarantees for over a year before being fixed on July 3, 2026. The vulnerability was disclosed to the company by Tyler Murphy, co-founder of EasyOptOuts. Apple deployed the fix shortly after the public exposure of the issue, which had previously exposed user identities through Mail logs.
