Apple's Hide My Email Is Broken | Tech News

Apple’s Hide My Email feature, meant to protect your real inbox with disposable aliases, is totally broken — hackers can easily trace every fake address back to your actual email using basic searches. The flaw was reported last year, supposedly fixed in March, but still exists. Apple even asked the researcher to stay quiet while they investigated — which he refused to do. Updates are coming this summer, including a domain switch to private.icloud.com, but it’s unclear if that’ll actually fix the leak or just make things worse. Until Apple patches it properly, skip Hide My Email and keep your real email safe.
