*UPDATE 1/28/19 10:20PM PDT*
Just found a tweet reporting this bug to Apple on the 20th and it fell on deaf ears. Only 1 hour ago did Apple disable the Facetime conferencing server preventing this bug from working until they can fix it. That means they knew about this for 8 days and it was public for 8 days during which time literally thousands of people could have been spied on and recorded doing or saying who knows what. This looks really really really bad for Apple at this point and I suspect they are going to have some heavy lawsuits on their hands.
i freaking love how apple always has these kinds of problems. either the phones disconnect from service is you hold them like a normal phone, or you can basically turn the users device into a spy device...
Does this apply to regular FaceTime?? It’s clearly FaceTime conferencing is compromised...
i turn that off when i buyed my iphone. Tks for the fast info
@@rfz985 looks like the exploit is only enabled by the conference thingy but i cant be certain its not doable in the p2p version
Everyone says it is from update 12.1 and newer does that mean it doesnt work on any update prior to ios 12 like 11 and older?
Please tell everyone you can reach online to disable Facetime until Apple iOS 12.4 releases later this week with a fix for this issue. I just confirmed that the latest version available when I made this video which is 12.3 doesn't fix the issue. Also, some people are saying this bug only works if the person on the other side dismisses the call with the physical volume buttons. I can assure you that after heavily testing this myself on iPhone XS Max, iPhone XR and iPhone X and iPad Pro (ver 1) I didn't have to touch the device at all to gain control of it's audio and video from the device initiating the call. The only way to protect yourself against this is to turn the phone physically off or disable Facetime by using my directions in the video description. [EXPAND FOR UPDATES]
*UPDATE 1/28/19 9:30PM PDT*
Apple disabled the Facetime conferencing servers so now when you add yourself to the call it doesn't appear to work. This is a workaround until they can fix the bug in iOS 12.1.4 but it should protect people. I confirmed that it does work however you can no longer add more people to the Facetime call as a result. I still recommend you keep Facetime disabled until a confirmed update is released at the device level in case they enable the conference servers accidentally without the fix in place.
Barnacules Nerdgasm so how can I spy on my friends?
I'm glad you didn't watch the whole video 😏
Wow you're slimming down, congrats.

Sup Jerry from the big New Zealand
Sup one of your Twitch Mods leaving a Comment on this youtube channel also it's about Time you uploaded lol jk buddy catch you on the next stream. And I don't use FaceTime it's been disabled.
It’s not disabled
I just called my girlfriend soooooo
Huh, I tried to do it and could not get it to work... was already disabled in my iOS devices. Never used it.
"Apple is all about privacy"
😂🤣😂
Still better than Android.
Android has security issues left and right, not to mention that Android's own Play Store has malware in it.
@@posske2aac965 yeah
I agree. Google owns your phone, you have no rights. Google can download files, change system settings, and even change or delete your phone contacts if they want to. That is absured.
It's a bug in the NSA's backdoor.
I think it's a feature from the chinese firmware. ;-)
Put in there by Russian Israelis.
@@brianj4201 I second. Whoever reads this must search for "Israel's secret weapon, the Talpiot program" and watch a documentary called "Israeli drones worldwide".
Love ya Jerry! Thank you so much for the imperative info. I just disabled FaceTime.
Please keep uploading. Love your videos.
Thanks 👍
Glad to see that upload notification Jerry!
Ooo you’ve uploaded again
Thanks Jerry, I shared this with my Apple using friends.
Thanks for making this video Jerry!
Hey this is the kinda video I expected from you Jerry! Keep up the PC and phone security videos
Is this a direct link to the TALPIOT PROGRAM...? 🤔
1ST, not an apple user LOL
Please share it with anyone you know that is though, because they are vulnerable.
Thanks for letting us know!
This is a serious bug. I’m glad Apple is on top of it, but I’m also glad I don’t use FaceTime!
Thank you. Glad you made this, you're one of the few tech people I follow.
Well done 👍
Thanks Gerry. I posted on LinkedIn earlier today and just updated with the instructions you provided.
Good to see you again bro
* laughs in Android *
Thanks for the heads up. Much appreciated.
very glad to have you back Jerry..thanks for the tip but i dont do IOS
Thank you, Barnacules! I just did as you suggested and shared it with my friends.
Nice to see you back Jerry
Good to be back!
Glad to see this man upload
Idk why but in the intro I was expecting you to say Barniclism, not enough sleep I guess lol.
Thanks mate, all done.
Thanks for the video. I was not aware of the bug
Hey Jerry! Looking good buddy. Would say thanks for the warning, but luckily I've been ATD(Apple transmitted disease) free for a long time now.
Great advice though thanks glad to see you back
Thank you
Thanks for the video Jerry! Love the channel and look forward to the new content.
Thanks Jerry, You look good buddy! Nice to see you again!
Great video keep up the good work man
Well that’s not good! Thanks for the heads up, Jerry.
Hey Jerry , would be cool if you could show your setup and maybe a video about what games you play , im a long time watcher but i loved your setup and iracing video , Great content!!
thanks for the info i just disabled facetime thats scary
I dig your channel so much! Totally worth ✌️
keep up the good work Jerry, looking good 😎
Thanks jerry. You always a great consumer advocate, miss your videos
Thanks
Great to have you back jerry, big hug!!!!
thanks for the heads up! I know I dont have a Iphone or Ipads, but its still scary but I do have IMac Pro
Thanks man! Hope you get to 1 million subs this year. Thanks for sharing.
thanks
thx
watch apple stocks not budge an inch after one of the greatest security flaws in cellular telecommunications history
That's unfortunate. I was hoping for a cheap shopping spree today.
The Social Media generation don't care about privacy until it helps Republicans.
All these people giving Facebook, Twitter, Google etc... More information about themselves than their family member and best friends.
They only complained when they found that some of that data was used by the republican party even though the democrats bragged about using the same data to win the previous election.
The head of Facebook physically blocks his microphone and camera.
I wonder why he does it. :_)
People need to start caring about their privacy.
Storing all your medical files on Apple may save you a little time but think about the risk to your life an future.
Next thing the data will be used to detect possible health problems and then you will no longer get high level jobs because their private data will show your possible health risk that they don't want to care about.
A long time ago the most powerful companies talked about using DNA to decide on high level positions, they didn't want to give you then job and then deal with your health problems.
@@zakofrx There are so many things wrong with your statement that it's easier to just tell you to fuck off and never return. It's going to take years to undo the damage you republicunts have brought on our country, and I only wish we could send all of you fuckers adrift in a wicker basket.
Thank for saying about the bag that I did not know about it
A bug? IMO this seems to fit in a major trend called Technocracy (originally from the 1934 movement). Since that era, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) like the Trilateral Commission have been working to create systems of control that circumvent national laws. The endgoal is to build 'smart cities' along with the internet of things and the new Silk Road initiative. A new economic system will roll out in which you'll pay according to your energy consumption.
"Data is the new oil" - is the motto. The internet of things, smart grid and 'one belt, one road' will be run by Israel. Through Operation Talpiot they've been STEALING US high tech, through 'kill switch diplomacy' Israel holds its power. Google: "Israel's secret weapon, the Talpiot program". The US high technology sector right now is being transferred to Israel.
Windows 10's code was written in Israel, Intel's biggest R&D centre is in Israel and since 2008 they've been hardware-backdooring the entire west. Intel has the "Intel Management Engine" by which outside entities can break in any computer no matter how good your security is.
Happy to see you again Jerry :)
Thank you for the heads up! Why can't Apple send out a mass notification to all devices to immediately alert us while they work on a fix?
He is back with a bang!
Thanks brother
Thanks for having others aware of this bug for these users
Wow, that’s insane
Does this impact ios11?
Random question here. Since u ur a software developer, I was wonder if u know how to lunch a program at initial log in into windows for a specific user using the "shell" scrip found in regedit in windows? I know that it changes the overall log in into windows but I was wonder if there's a way to set it up for a user n not everyone in the same comp. I hope u get the chance to reply on whether this is possible or not. Thank u
This is why I jailbreak my iPhone a patch was released on Cydia on the 21st on the recent changes.
Looking great jerry
OMG thank you jerry, you helped us out. I am the household it guy and as soon as you gave instruction on what to do until apple fixes this, i literally rounded up phones. (all of our iphones run the latest ios version so yeah.)
Thx for the info! I deleted the FaceTime app for now! Gg man
Oh yeah yeah
Thanks Brother I have an Android so I had not heard of this yet but I own a Mac I rarely use but my Wife and 2 Kids have an iPhone and iPad Each so thanks for the heads up. Love your Vids man Thanks.
Was on BBC tv news in UL
Thanks dude, without you I wouldn't know who to trust. Although I dont own Apple IOS, i have always owned Android and I'm sure stuff like this goes on.
this is only for ios 12?
do people video call anyway? cant say ive ever seen or heard of someone using one for anything non bussiness
So how do I do this ?
Jerry twice in one week on youtube again?! It really is the apocalypse! Glad to see you back even if its for a shitty apple screwup. Glad I dont have apple products but will let people with them know.
Man I missed your videos
Thank you for bringing an appropriate level of panic.
👍
Would you do platform reviews like for the Uptrennd platform for example ? Like Reddit but gives most or all of profits back to their users
I've already fixed this by not owning any crapple products...I saw this coming back in the 80's. Well not really this, I just hate crapple's proprietary culture since the 80's. Keep up the good work, love to see you on utube.
I’m curious to see how this work
Great public service Jerry! By the way, your face is seriously starting to thin out. Good job buddy!
I can use it for some good ! I wanted a Cydia tweak like this for long.
"Windows 8 is spying on you." Apple: Hold my beer..
I always uninstall facetime as best can be done.
I wonder if this could've affected older iOS devices as well. All iOS does in this scenario is check if FaceTime has permissions to access the camera and mic. Big shock, it does by default.
PS: Damn, I've been missing those Barnacules Poop Naps.
How about iOS 11 ?
What about MacOS???
One day Cell cameras will have a mechanical shutter mechanism
Lol I still use the OS 10 version on my iPhone 6s from the battery thing :P
I need to show this to my parents cuz they're the only ones that use iPhone also do you dye your hair grey if not either way you look awesome
Just a clarification: current iOS version is 12.1.3 as I just updated from 12.1.2 just now.
Also, if you followed this then checked for updates between 12.1.2 and 12.1.3, the update WILL NOT turn FaceTime back on.
Why do I say this? Because some updates turn stuff on even when you have turned it off. This ISN'T one of those cases.
Like you said Jerry, hopefully, 12.1.4 will be released shortly. 👍
I have 2 peices of electrical tape on my cameras
What about the microphone?
Thank you Jerry. Luckily my iPad is dead and my iPhone has been fixed because of you. Thanks a ton. Kind human. Funny thing is though, you didn’t post this video. Someone took it from the face time app on your phone!
Wait, stagefright isn’t as bad?
Completely unrelated, but is it the light, or is your hair gray in this video?
I dont have Ios12, but i checked my settings. i was already disabled by me long time ago. probably because i dont trust apps which i dont use but are active
I just disabled Facetime, and sent this to my dad, and grandma who I know use it on a fairly regular basis.
Apple: "Courage" 🤔
its kinda common to block cameras on laptops with a post -it or something, but nobody blocks cameras on phones :/
I have both front and rear camera with a little hatch on it so i can still take pics when i need to.
@Jesse James I understand the privacy thing trust me. I just feel like at this point it's almost a lost cause. I feel if "big brother" wants to watch you, "he" will. That might be a bit paranoid but I feel society has changed with people already pouring their lives out via social media. However when it comes to a blatant security flaw like this that allows a person to person attack it's definitely not right.
Jokes on them. My Apple device has no mic nor camera to it
Hmmm, this can be useful :)
Note 7, I can explode.
iOS 12, hold my beer!
Just FaceTimed mah friend
So could this be used to by creeps to harass celebrities or CZcamsrs?
If they have them on facetime sure.
Yes, and I'm sure it has been already. I tested it on my buddy Greg and was able to listen to audio and video without him being aware of it. I even called him afterward and he didn't believe me so I told him how to do it back to me. Needless to say he disabled facetime immediately after that and so did his wife.
Who cares what Hollywood has to say?
@@geraldinman5633 Apparently many, many people according to well, just about everything. Like movies, TV, the "news", tabloids, magazines, "news"papers, billboards, the internet, I could go on, but I assume you knew this already since you are on CZcams.
@@geraldinman5633 Gerald Inman I just don't want people to get their privacy breached. Going off what Jay and Jerry said about people randomly going to their homes, I'd be worried about complete strangers going after CZcamsrs.
I don't really care about Hollywood, but nobody deserves to get stalked by strangers.
What happens on your iPhone, stays on your i.. wait a sec?!
Spying on Barnacules is only for patreons :) Miss your videos :( great to see you back :)
Jokes on you I don't even run ios 12 on any of my devices
