I am guessing you haven't tried that excuse on the users your witholding is leaving exposed.

We're hoping that by notifying people that there's a vulnerability, people can stop using Hide My Email if it matters to them. I don't think that disclosing the exploit method will get Apple to fix it faster at this point.

  • Its the only reason I even pay the $1 a month icloud plan, so might as well cancel it if its gonna be eternally broken.

  • The problem there is users cannot evaluate if it matters to them whilst all information needed to do so is being witheld.

    • If having your personal email exposed would be a matter of personal safety or similar, then stop using it. If you're just using it for junk mail or to get a free trial then keep using it.
