Apple Sued Over Reported 'Hide My Email' Flaw

Apple faces a proposed class action lawsuit in California alleging that the Hide My Email feature fails to protect user privacy as advertised. The suit claims Apple violated consumer protection and false advertising laws. A security researcher disclosed a vulnerability in June 2025 that could expose real email addresses. Although the flaw exists, there are no known instances of exploitation because the specific steps required to trigger the vulnerability have not been shared with the public.
