First spotted by German site MacNotes, FaceTime for Mac has a rather big security hole, assuming you have physical access to someone’s computer. From FaceTime, if you go into the preferences, then click on the account, and view account, it lists a whole bunch of information about your official AppleID. From there, someone can change your current password and see your security question and answer. Even if you logout from FaceTime, your login password is automatically saved.
Yes, this security hole does require them to actually have physical access to your computer, but it’s still a pretty stonking big problem.

I guess we shouldn’t have anything valuable in our wallets/purses because if someone gets a hold of it, they will have all our information.
And we also shouldn’t go camping lest we get stabbed in out tents….
