Apple users are reporting an intrusion, looks like it’s a huge problem. More and more customer are flashing a red-flag and storming the official Apple support forums and other Apple forums in regards to their account being hacked, they’ve been complaining that the hackers are using their accounts to purchase gift cards and other items on the Apple store and are also using their Paypal accounts.
Many of the iTunes users whose accounts have been hacked are increasingly frustrated with Apple’s customer service, saying the company at the very least has dithered in fixing the problem. Some accuse the tech giant of being indifferent to the problem.
To sort the situation, Apple is refunding the money that has been stolen and quickly reverting the account back to their original settings. But according to the report, Apple’s customer service is not acknowledging there is a problem — even though the Support Forum continues to grow.
Some hackers used it for the monitory gain while some crooked developers hack accounts to give themselves positive ratings on their own apps. A Vietnam developer allegedly hacked over 400 accounts two years ago to give himself five-star ratings on Apple’s iTunes App Store.
