MacRumors
A class action lawsuit alleges Apple committed fraud by marketing iCloud Private Relay as a privacy feature despite known security flaws.Summary
Apple is facing a proposed class action lawsuit accusing it of fraud and false advertising regarding the security of its iCloud Private Relay feature. Filed by the Clarkson Law Firm, the suit claims Apple deceived iCloud+ subscribers by marketing the feature as a shield for IP addresses and DNS records, while allegedly knowing or should have known that these privacy claims were false. The lawsuit cites specific WebKit vulnerabilities, including issues with passkey sign-ins and DNS prefetching, which can expose a user's real IP address or bypass the feature's proxy servers entirely. This legal action follows a previous $250 million settlement between Clarkson and Apple regarding delayed Siri features.
