iOS 13 may randomly disclose your credit card details to others
At present, Apple has pushed major updates of iOS13 to all supported models, but unfortunately, this new version seems to have many strange problems. Some users try to upgrade and get stuck, then they become bricks after forced hang up, and there are random restarts or system crashes after users successfully upgrade the new version. But the more serious problem is that some users have discovered that Apple has randomly leaked the credit card information to other people.

“I got my iPhone 11 Pro Max yesterday. I set everything up and it sure is a great phone.
Today I decided to change my iTunes credit card. I used the take picture feature. It read my card well but then when I saved the card someone else’s credit card was saved! A woman’s from Illinois. I have her full name, billing address and last 4 digits of her credit card!
That felt like I could steal their money any time. And they could steal mine? As proof I took a snapshot of their info and then immediately removed the card.
I don’t know what to say. It is just unbelievable.”
We know that the Apple App Store must add a valid payment method to download the app. For users, the payment method is mainly credit card. It is extremely shocking to see that the credit card number, expiration date, security code and detailed billing address added by this female user can all be seen by this netizen. Obviously, this netizen can use the credit card information directly to complete the stolen brush, and it can be used not only on the Apple platform but also on other shopping websites. Coincidentally, this netizen has actually found other problems before the feedback to this question, which means that this may be a broader system error.
Since the impact of this issue is very significant, after the user feedback to Apple customer service, the customer service said that the problem has been reported to Apple’s senior management. Apple officials also said that the company is now aware of the problem and is actively repairing it, but it is still unknown when and how to fix it.
