苹果FaceTime曝重大漏洞：用户在接听前被偷听

A serious bug in Apple's FaceTime application allows users to listen in on the people they are calling when they do not pick up the call. Under certain circumstances, the glitch also allows callers to see video of the person they are calling before they pick up. 
The Guardian confirmed the existence of the bug, which was first reported by 9to5Mac. The bug turns the phone of the recipient of a FaceTime call into a microphone while the call is still ringing. If the recipient of the call presses the power button on the side of the iPhone—an action that is typically used to silence or ignore an incoming call—their phone will begin broadcasting video to the initial caller. Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the Guardian. 
The company told Reuters that it was aware of the problem and would release a software update "later this week". The bug comes amid increasing concern over privacy by regulators around the globe. Until Apple releases its software update, it appears that the best way for iPhone users to protect their privacy is to disable FaceTime in the phone's settings.
