Apple patches Beats Studio Buds flaw that could turn earbuds into a wiretap

Apple has patched a Bluetooth flaw in Beats Studio Buds that could potentially turn your earbuds into a nearby wiretap. When you buy a pair of Bluetooth earbuds, you expect them to play your music and your calls—not someone else’s. But a vulnerability in Apple’s Beats Studio Buds shows how that trust can be abused, turning everyday audio gear into a potential eavesdropping tool for anyone close enough and skilled enough to exploit it.
