iTunes account hacked

[darkmanCANADA]

So on Monday night I redeemed a $50 iTunes gift card that I recently received which bumped my account up to $51.96. This morning while I was on the bus I got an email from iTunes thanking me for my recent purchase. WTF! I don't normally buy from iTunes. So when I got to the office I checked my account and sure enough a $9.99 Texas Holdem app and $40 worth of chips. So I promptly filled out a case form with Apple. LOL. Then I Googled iTunes accounts being hacked. Apparently Apple has had some recent problems with Gift Cards being hacked by Chinese developers. F*ckers!@#$%^&

Re: iTunes account hacked

thats why you change your itunes password alot.. i see people buy apps on the bus,etc and people next can easily read your email addy and see your password being typed :/

I guess it might take 2-3 weeks to clear up according to some forum posts. BTW how the hell can I buy an app on the bus when I have a 5th gen iPod Nano which is tied to my laptop at home which was off and not connected to WiFi. Not like it was an iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad that I can download straight from iTunes.

i think he was talking about iphones or ipad 3g specifically. yours was probably "hacked" by phishing. i don't like using the word hack with phishing or guessing or reading someones password

Re: iTunes account hacked

I had my account hacked once, had a whole $14 since in no way will I give apple my CC#. Someone used it all up to buy bugs bunny cartoons :/
Apple did refund me rather quickly though.

Re: iTunes account hacked

I just got an email from iTunes basically upon review, the charges were deem fraudulent and I will be credited within 3-5 business days.

IIRC, yes, that is what you said.

Re: iTunes account hacked

In regards to your lame comebacks? Yes. They were fast. Unfortunately very poorly executed.

Maybe Pat can fill in on that subject.
