Instead, the bug leaves the unused image data behind, allowing it to be partially recovered by potential hackers.The significant privacy concern with the “acropalypse” bug is that hackers might be able to exploit the flaw to recover sensitive information from the images edited on Microsoft’s Snipping Tool and Google Pixel’s Markup. This could be anything from a credit number or a person’s face in the original photo.
“The worst instance was when I posted a cropped screenshot of an eBay order confirmation email, showing the product I’d just bought,” Buchanan“Through the exploit, I was able to un-crop that screenshot, revealing my full postal address . That’s pretty bad!”“We are aware of these reports and are investigating. We will take action as needed to help keep customers protected,” a Microsoft spokesperson says.
