Has iTunes Been Hacked?
An anonymous reader writes "Betanews has a series of articles talking about an apparent hack in iTunes that has resulted in fraudulent charges for some users involving Sega's Kingdom Conquest game. The reports start with a personal account from reporter Ed Oswald, who was a victim of the hack itself. The next story adds reports from readers, and the most recent story adds additional reports, with Oswald saying the number of reports received are in the 'dozens.' Apple has yet to confirm the existence of a hack, although reports have appeared on Sega's own support forums, Apple discussion boards, and through other news outlets."
can't be: there are no viruses on Apple. Go ask your local Genius !

Close the vulnerability? Don't be daft man! That sounds like the kind of automatic update that is best left enabled.
I'm watching how this develops, I purchased my wife

Would you buy another?
Have you seen any fraudulent wife purchases on your bill?

However Apple's users are certainly prone to social engineering.
Of course I'm prone to social engineering. Why else would I have an iMac. And a MacBook. Two iPods. One iPhone (and two iPods and an iPhone for my kid.)
