The tech giant is providing Grant Thompson of Tucson, Arizona, an undisclosed amount — as well as help financing his education — after he showed his mom a security flaw in FaceTime that allowed callers to eavesdrop. Apple released an update Thursday to fix the bug, but it still faces lawsuits over the incident.
