Apple Patches Hide My Email Flaw More Than a Year After It Was Reported

Apple patched a vulnerability in Hide My Email that exposed real email addresses of iCloud+ users. Reported by Tyler Murphy of EasyOptOuts in June 2025, the flaw persisted despite Apple claiming a fix in March 2026. The company only fully addressed the issue in a July 3 patch after 404 Media publicized the bug. This security gap left user emails exposed for over a year before the final resolution was implemented by Apple.
