Don't Panic – About that FaceTime Bug

A serious bug in Apple's FaceTime Group call feature was disclosed recently. It can be exploited to allow access to your microphone and even your front-facing camera, but you don't need to panic.

Apple shutdown the Group FaceTime servers until a bug fix is released in a few days, thus protecting everyone from a potential exploit. Even so, it's worth discussing this bug and the reaction to it.
