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."

    I've worked in IT security for a long time and for banks... The sheer number of unreported hacks at banks and at retail stores would blow your mind. People mistakenly get angry at the hackers (which is how the media has trained most everyone to think) when in reality it is almost always gross negligence on the hack-ee side and they deserve the ire.

    irregardless of any other ire given

    Irregardless is not a word. You may have a point, but your use of a non-word makes me wonder.
