Edison Mail, a popular third-party email app, has warned thousands of iOS users that their emails may have been compromised after a security flaw exposed emails to complete strangers.

Several Edison Mail users took to Twitter to complain that they were seeing up to 100 unread email messages from strangers' accounts under their own Edison Mail inboxes.

Edison Mail also mentioned that as a safety measure, the ensuing patch prevented all potentially impacted users from being able to access any mail from the Edison Mail app.

"As an additional precaution, Edison has already contacted impacted users and asked them to change their email account password," according to Edison Mail.

Threatpost has reached out to Edison Mail for further comment on the bug.
