Apple’s ‘Hide My Email’ controversy: Who is at risk and is there a temporary fix?
What happens on your iPhone, stays on your iPhone. These were the words from Apple’s famous marketing campaign that drew attention across the world, onboarding more users from the Android and other OS ecosystems. Soon after, Apple proudly released its ‘Hide My Email’ feature as an attempt at keeping your credentials safe on your iPhone. Except that Hide My Email isn’t exactly hiding anything, as a security researcher has revealed.
For context, the ‘Hide My Email’ feature is a paid iCloud+ feature designed to cloak real identities behind a wall of randomly generated, disposable aliases.
