Apple Fixes Hide My Email Bug That Exposed Real Addresses in Mail Logs

Apple patched a vulnerability in its Hide My Email service that allowed real email addresses to be exposed in mail logs, bypassing the privacy feature's core function. The issue was discovered by a security researcher and disclosed to Apple over a year before the fix was deployed on July 3, 2026.

Why it matters: Apple users relying on Hide My Email for privacy should verify their email forwarding settings and consider rotating addresses associated with sensitive accounts, as this flaw may have already exposed their real addresses in logs.
