Apple slapped with lawsuit over FaceTime Bug

Well, that didn’t take long. Apple has been slapped with a lawsuit related to the recently announced FaceTime bug that allows someone to listen in to a person’s phone call. The suit was filed less than 24 hours after the mainstream media announced the bug.

The suit was filed in a Houston, Texas court by a lawyer claiming that the glitch enabled an unknown party to listen in on a client while conducting legal business.

According to court documents, Larry Williams II said the intrusion occurred as he was taking sworn testimony during a client deposition. Further details were not offered by the report, though it is presumed Williams received a call as he conducted the deposition via FaceTime.

Williams claims negligence, product liability, misrepresentation and warranty breach in his suit against Apple. He is seeking unspecified punitive damages, according to the Bloomberg report.
