The New Oil#Apple plans to change its #HideMyEmail #privacy feature that could make it less effective
بجاد الأثريأعلنت Apple عن تعديل وشيك لميزة "إخفاء بريدي الإلكتروني" (Hide My Email) لمستخدمي iCloud+. ستُنشأ العناوين المستعارة الجديدة ضمن نطاق @private.icloud.com بدلاً من @icloud.com الحالي، بهدف فصلها عن حسابات البريد العادية. يرى البعض أن هذا التغيير، رغم كونه يسهل تمييز العناوين الخاصة، قد يقلل من حماية الخصوصية، إذ يمكن أن يُمكّن الخدمات من حظر أو تقييد الحسابات المنشأة بهذه الطريقة. ستبقى العناوين الحالية تعمل بشكل طبيعي.

Apple is about to make Hide My Email useless
Yesterday, June 15, 2026, a small and unimportant announcement appeared in Apple developer news: New domain for Sign in with Apple and iCloud+ Hide My Email. Long story short: now both Sign in with Apple and Hide My Email aliases are going to be issued on the @private.icloud.com subdomain. This makes it much easier to ban all aliases without affecting non-relay mailboxes on iCloud mail. This is certainly a big hit for iCloud privacy, since some plausible deniability together with Apple’s backing made banning iCloud aliases costly.

This isn’t surprising but still provides uncommon insight into what data is available to authorities regarding Apple feature. The data was turned over during an investigation into a man who allegedly sent a threatening email to Alexis Wilkins, the girlfriend of FBI director Kash Patel.
#LawEnforcement agents later interviewed Alden Ruml and he confirmed he had sent the email.
