That was fast.
A few days after the discovery of a particularly nasty bug in Apple's FaceTime video chat app -- one that allowed for a user to listen and Shaved | Adult Movies Onlineeven see the person on the other end of the line before they've answered the call -- Apple is already getting slammed by lawsuits.
Houston attorney Larry D. Williams II filed a lawsuit on Monday, claiming the bug allowed for someone to eavesdrop on a private deposition he had with a client, Courthouse News reported Tuesday.

Furthermore, the lawsuit claims that Apple has "failed to provide sufficient warnings and instructions that would have put Plaintiff and the general public on notice of the dangers and adverse effects caused by the update to iOS 12.1."
Williams seeks punitive damages against Apple and unknown parties, claiming "product liability, negligence, warranty and fraudulent misrepresentation."
Apple told Mashable it was aware of the issue on Jan. 28, and the company disabled group FaceTime later that day. effectively neutralizing the bug. The company is expected to issue a fix this week. But there's evidence that Apple knew -- or was at least warned -- about the bug as early as Jan. 20, which probably won't do the company much good regarding this lawsuit.
