This is huge and needs attention for people to be safe. Turn off face time now. A patch will be out later this week.

Is breaking so that it gets noticed by everyone. If you don't do this anytime with FaceTime can remotely listen to your phone.

I just read this and it is indeed HUGE.

Sounds like you don’t have to accept or want the face time call to be spied on. Ghastly. Just ghastly.

A couple decades ago, the Polycom videoconferencing codecs that had IP connections could be used to see and hear their room even when not in a call, and “asleep”. A lot of board rooms had these machines...

That’s not a bug......

.
It’s a Feature.

Just that the peasants are not supposed to find out about it.

Only the NSA, CIA and FBI are supposed to know about it.

My son called me and ran a test on my phone. It’s a fact.

Um, I’m guessing I don’t have that app or program because I don’t even know what it is.

What is it, anyway??

A co-worker has 8 Alexa devices in her home...
She found out a friend who had a Alexa could still hear her thru the device after they had hung up on their call using Alexa.

Cool. I can FaceTime this girl I wanted to ask out. Then I can listen to her all day long. [Just kidding.]

A bug in FaceTime lets you listen in to the audio if you try to call someone -- even if they don't pick up.

Maybe they should have called it "FacePalm" instead of "FaceTime".

You know there is more sophisticated software used by Intel for govt and big business around the world that can spy on you without your phone even ringing.

My first thought is it is the perfect tool for the anti-christ to use to find and kill Christians.

Prepare to go off grid.

That’s why I quickly turned off FaceTime functionality on my iPad Pro and iPhone X post haste.
