Apple was warned of the FaceTime bug over a week ago

iPhone owners around the country are asking questions today, following news of a disastrous FaceTime bug that let bad actors turn unsuspecting owners' smartphones into spy devices. The bug, temporarily rendered inoperable by Apple's late Jan. 28 disabling of group FaceTime altogether, only garnered widespread attention yesterday — but there is evidence that the Cupertino-based company was warned about it as early as Jan. 20, and yet did not alert its customers.
