A serious bug has been discovered in FaceTime’s new Group Calling feature that can be exploited to allow instant access to your microphone and, potentially, your front-facing camera.

I asked Apple about the bug and they provided me with the following statement.

"We're aware of this issue and we have identified a fix that will be released in a software update later this week."

So, what the hell is happening and what can you do about it in the meantime?
