Apple is facing a lawsuit from the Clarkson Law Firm over alleged false advertising and fraud concerning its iCloud Private Relay service. The suit claims Apple knew about security flaws that could expose users' real IP addresses and browsing data, undermining the privacy protection it marketed to iCloud+ subscribers. Security researchers recently found WebKit vulnerabilities that bypass Private Relay, including issues with passkeys, DNS prefetching, and WebTransport. These flaws could allow websites to track users' network and location, directly contradicting Apple's privacy promises.
