And stay safe out there.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Back in 2021, Apple launched its Hide My Email tool, which as the name suggests, allows people to sign-up for online services using an email address that isn\u2019t linked directly to them. The privacy feature generates \u201cunique, random email addresses\u201d that will forward incoming messages to a user\u2019s personal email address\u2014reducing the amount of information you need to hand over to companies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Reporting from 404 Media this week revealed that a vulnerability in the system has made it possible, for at least a year, for people\u2019s real email addresses to be uncovered when they are using Apple\u2019s privacy service. \u201cApple Hide My Email is leaking email addresses that are supposed to be hidden,\u201d security researcher Tyler Murphy, who discovered the flaw in June 2025, told the publication. \u201cIn our limited tests with volunteers, 100% of Hide My Email addresses were exploitable,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">The exact details of the vulnerability and how it works have&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/security-roundup-apples-hide-my-email-service-fails-to-hide-your-email\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Security Roundup: Apple\u2019s Hide My Email Service Fails to Hide Your Email https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/security-roundup-apples-hide-my-email-service-fails-to-hide-your-email\/ Publish Date:&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":285626,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/6a459c14043fba997ea26852\/191:100\/w_1280,c_limit\/security_roudnup_GettyImages-1157988186.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[32,27],"class_list":["post-285625","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cybersecurity","tag-malware","tag-vulnerability"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/285625"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=285625"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/285625\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":285627,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/285625\/revisions\/285627"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/285626"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=285625"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=285625"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=285625"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
