Facepalm: Apple's iCloud Private Relay, the company's privacy-protecting service for Safari that comes with any paid iCloud+ plan, doesn't appear to be as private as Cupertino claims. A new report has revealed how attackers can learn a Private Relay user's real IP address, and many websites may already have collected the information. Private Relay isn't the same as a traditional VPN. The destination server therefore receives the real IP address. 404 Media confirmed that the researchers' proof-of-concept site revealed an IP address Private Relay should have concealed.
