Several outlets report that Apple fixes a vulnerability in its “Hide My Email” feature that could allow real email addresses to be revealed under certain conditions. The issue relates to how aliases from Hide My Email are handled in Mail. According to coverage based on reporting by 404 Media, Apple deploys a patch on July 3, 2026 after the problem had been in place for more than a year following its disclosure to the company. Digital Trends and The Hacker News describe that the bug could expose real addresses through bounced messages connected to spam, which would undermine the privacy promise of Hide My Email. AppleInsider also says it confirmed the underlying behavior after the date Apple claimed the fix was in place, reproducing the issue on July 17, 2026. In that reproduction, a sender with access to a particular Hide My Email alias could reveal the corresponding real address, according to AppleInsider. AppleInsider reports it has reached out to Apple for comment and indicates it will update if Apple responds. The reports collectively describe a patch arriving shortly after public exposure and ongoing verification around whether it fully resolved the vulnerability.
