Comments on: iTunes hack warning! http://blog.kevingoldsmith.com/2009/06/29/itunes-hack-warning/ Sarcasm and vitriol wrapped in a twee bow. Sat, 23 Apr 2011 15:46:11 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Chip http://blog.kevingoldsmith.com/2009/06/29/itunes-hack-warning/comment-page-1/#comment-2652 Chip Sat, 23 Apr 2011 15:46:11 +0000 http://blog.kevingoldsmith.com/?p=726#comment-2652 Just to let everyone know; this is still going on. It happened to me two days ago. I notified Apple and they disabled my account but did nothing else. They told me to contact my financial institution and cancel my credit cards. I found that strange since the card number did not show up on the account. Does this mean that Apple somehow gave them the entire card number and other information? Since it looks like this has been going on for about two years, Apple appears to have a serious security problem that they have yet to resolve. This needs to get out to the mainstream media. I can't believe how unbelievably bad their customer service is. Just to let everyone know; this is still going on. It happened to me two days ago.

Bank of America replaced the $480 that had been taken out of my account but if Apple won't back out the charges they will take the monies back. At this point I haven't heard what is going on but hope to soon. I too am disappointed with Apples lack of support. I had the same thing happen in May 2010 almost the same as everyone else.

I went to use my debit card on Saturday and it was declined. I was a bit confused but being a Single Parent with a Disabled child my bank balance is never exactly healthy. So assumed it was direct debits going out early or something. Checked my account online today and noticed 5 itune debits had emptied my account. The bank won't help but have cancelled my card. The itunes account has loads of downloaded items that I would never use and my address has been changed to China. Gutted... Me too. I went to use my debit card on Saturday and it was declined.

After calling tech support for the iphone and doing a web chat both recommended I send an email. Apple, thanks for the support. I guess I am glad I found it with only $1.29 charged so far. Shcoked at the lack of help when the guy on the phone is acknowledging there is a fraud issue here. Happened to me also.

Went to pay my Visa today and saw that there was over $600 in charges from itunes that were not mine.. I hardly use itunes. Anyway, called visa, cancelled card and chatted online with Guy P from Apple. Itunes account is on hold, new visa card is in the mail. Can't believe this happens?? Seriously everyone, it's Apple, Can't they fix this problem? WOW. Went to pay my Visa today and saw that there was over $600 in charges from itunes that were not mine.. I hardly use itunes.

Does anyone think that a class action lawsuit would help with this matter? Sounds like a lot of us have become victims but Apple chooses to do nothing to help.
