iTunes account has been hacked as being reported by many iTunes users that they have been charged hundred of dollars for the apps they never ever purchased! So far, no body knows whose behind this iTunes hacking activity.
But several web sites I red tend to relate with the Vietnamese app developer called Thuat Nguyen, who have its 40 apps book jumped up to top 50 books list for Books Category, when previously they were unpopular apps with no user ratings at all.
It is suspicious condition considering the apps have very poor rating and nobody seems interested to purchase yet all of sudden they all increased and dominate the top of iTunes charts. So there is a possibility that the app developer hacked people (iTunes users account) account and utilize the accounts to buy his/her own app to skyrocket it to the top list of the charts of iTunes
So now as a preventive actions to protect your iTunes account being hacked, do the following:
- Change your iTunes account password
- Scan your app purchases history, and report to Apple soon if you found something fishy there
- Remove your payment details and set to NONE temporarily until Apple fix this problem
