Apple recently issued a warning to iPhone users in a support article, noting that scammers are increasingly using FaceTime to impersonate banks and steal user data.

In this episode, I'm joined by Clayton LiaBraaten, Senior Executive Advisor at Truecaller, to break down how these impersonation scams actually develop, why a live video call feels so trustworthy, and what we can all do to stop them.

Talal from Mysk is back on Security Bite. We get into how and why the App Store logs every tap you make, why researchers are publicly walking away from Apple's bug bounty program, and Loupe, Mysk's new free and open-source app that shows you exactly what iOS's APIs are sharing about you.

In this episode, I break down some of the notable new security and privacy changes Apple announced at WWDC26 last week. Siri AI was the headline reveal, but we also got a new iPhone recovery mode, small but meaningful Find My privacy changes, an agentic AI Passwords feature in iOS 27, and tighter parental controls across both operating systems.

I also dig into the privacy architecture behind all the new Apple Intelligence features, and what all these changes mean for admins once you factor in managed devices and work accounts.
