A significant bug has been discovered in FaceTime and is currently spreading virally over social media. The bug lets you call anyone with FaceTime, and immediately hear the audio coming from their phone — before the person on the other end has accepted or rejected the incoming call. Apple says the issue will be addressed in a software update "later this week". (Update: Apple has taken Group FaceTime offline in an attempt to address the issue in the interim).

Because the digital, very easily, can be hacked. And the country where it's made can put in a big beautiful Hacking Door. It's not beautiful, folks. It's very ugly. And that one can be very hard to close. Look what happened with "O's" Office of Personell Management. His O. P. M., so sad -- 22 million accounts were hacked in this country by China. The United States is hacked by everybody. I signed, very proudly, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency Act, to stop this new phenomena. But the Factories must come back!!
