A lawyer in Houston filed a lawsuit against Apple alleging that a recent FaceTime exploit allowed someone to listen in on sworn testimony.
Larry Williams II, a lawyer based in Houston, filed a lawsuit in Harris County, Texas Monday against Apple over an exploit that let people eavesdrop on iPhones using FaceTime.
The bug went viral on Monday evening after news outlets, including CNBC, verified that one person was able to place a FaceTime video call to another person and, using the exploit, was able to listen in or see video of the recipient of the call, even if they didn’t answer. Williams says he heard about the bug as early as January 27.
The suit alleges that Apple “failed to exercise reasonable care” and that Apple “knew, or should have known, that its Product would cause unsolicited privacy breaches and eavesdropping.
