Apple FaceTime Phone Glitch

SecureWorld interviews our CEO on the Apple Facetime glitch affecting devices.

Did you hear about the iPhone FaceTime bug or FaceTime glitch that allows others to watch or listen to you without your knowledge?

Details started emerging yesterday, and SecureWorld keynote speaker Dr. Chris Pierson says his company’s team was able to recreate the glitch. Pierson is CEO and founder of BlackCloak.
