TL;DR

A security researcher claims Apple's Hide My Email feature can expose real email addresses; tests reportedly showed 100% of generated addresses could reveal the linked account. The researcher says he reported the flaw to Apple over a year ago and, despite Apple saying it was fixed in March, the issue persists, according to 404 Media verification. Apple has discussed moving Hide My Email to a private.icloud.com domain to mitigate the issue.
