I felt a bit stupid discovering that my iTunes account was hacked for about a month already and only noticed it yesterday. Now, I’m just figuring out how it happened and will wait for Apple customer support if they can reverse the charges.
It all started with a nagging password prompt on my iPhone 3G. Can’t download any new apps because it says I got a wrong password. Since my DSL that month was sluggish, I thought it was just the connection. My last app download was Skype and Yahoo for the iPhone.
Then I remembered that email from iTunes about me requesting a new password (something I know I didn’t do int he first place). The account was tied to my Yahoo! email which I seldom check.
Yesterday, while checking the Meralco bill that was emailed to me, I also found these charges on my iTunes account:
That’s when I realized my account was hacked. I immediately requested a new iTunes password and also changed my Yahoo! account password. Reported all the paid apps to Apple as “Did not intend to buy this” and waiting for their response to reverse all the charges.
I have to agree with Hamilton Chua. It is probably the Yahoo! account that gave away your iTunes account. In the past few months, I have seen a significant number of my friends’ YM accounts being hacked sending me messages about slimming products and what-not! I never dared to go to these links knowing they are very suspicious links!
I think the majority of hacked ym accounts are coming from people who got thier computers infected on a virus that specifically attacks yahoo messenger.

wow yuga, first overcharging sa iphone mo then na-hack naman itunes account mo. happens to the best of us, i guess. or is the problem inherent in apple itself? the more u look into that company and its policies, the more gusto mong batuhin ng buto ng santol. really leaves a bad taste in the mouth.
Hello!
I collect utility bills from different countries.
The first 3 persons who send me all the Philippines bills (phone, house and electricity) for one year (12 bills of each kind) will receive 20 dollars from me to your paypal account.
Send me email first.
Thank you very much in advance.
oh! sorry for that. buti ganon lang kalaki ang nagamit sa account mo.
