Apple Faces Lawsuit Over Hide My Email Privacy Vulnerability

A proposed class-action lawsuit alleges Apple’s Hide My Email feature failed to protect users’ real email addresses as advertised after researchers reported a vulnerability in June 2025 that could link private relay addresses to actual inboxes; the suit claims Apple continued to market the feature as secure while the flaw remained exploitable and seeks refunds, injunctive relief, and other damages, though Apple says it patched the issue on July 3, 2026.
