I just received two emails from PayPal saying that I sent a payment to iTunes store for $41.86 & $4.99.

I logged onto my iTunes account & it doesn’t show any purchases from my account for the last 90 days.

I just read your story about being hacked. Be thankful it was only $40. Some jerk hacked my account which was tied to my paypal account and charged up over $500.00 on my check card. I am pretty sure I will get reimbursed from my bank. But what a nightmare.

Thank you Craig. This is very useful! Our website is done with Drupal, even though we have something not working properly.

Add me to the list. My iTunes account was hacked for $300 last night. It is Impossibe to talk to anyone at iTunes. This has been an eye opener for me. Everyone talks about how great apple is. Not true. They don’t give a rip.

Add me to the hacked account list. got a receipt for Itunes @ 9:27 PM Friday 7/2/10. Whoever it was purchased Item
1 Angry Birds, v1.3.4, Seller: Clickgamer
2 FatBooth, v1.0.1, Seller: PiVi & Co (4+)
3 MyPhone+, v2.5, Seller: Ultimake Ltd. (4+)
4 VietPop – Nhạc Việt, v1.3, Seller: Quan Le

I mean, FatBooth is seriously ridiculous. I’m trying to lose weight, there is no way I would buy a “make yourself look fat” program. . . and VietPop is a HUGE giveaway. I’m not vietnamese and I’m not remotely interested in the music. My last Itunes purchase was about 3 weeks ago and I know exactly what that program was.

The guy on the phone I managed to get a hold of was very nice. I told him my issue and he said he’d get it over to tech support/billing and they would get it fixed. Supposedly, they can recognize IPs that are different then your phone and computer.

I unfortunately, don’t have the option of logging in and changing my password or removing my info. Whoever hacked my account was smart and changed my birthdate and possibly my email. I only noticed because the bill came to my email address. But the password reset won’t come to my email, so I’m screwed in that respect. Hopefully this gets resolved before I lose more then a few bucks.

Got me too…$260 in charges to my credit card. Funny thing is I have no problems logging into my account…password and user ID are still the same, and none of the purchases show up in the purchase history for my account. Somebody got my card number somehow and must have attached it to a different account. There were two charges, and since one is still pending I can’t dispute yet unless I want to do the whole thing twice. So I am out $207 something and have another $50 something pending, and once that posts I can complete the dispute with my bank. Frustrating!! And no way at all to contact Apple about it.

My bank seemed familiar with the problem…asked me right off if I had my CC stored with itunes and if I had trouble logging into my account. I must not be the only one calling them about it, and it’s only a local credit union with branches only in the city I live in.

They got me for 200.00, my bank Covered the charges. Apples customer service sucks but why would they care if we get ripped off they still get paid whether we authorized the purchase or not. It’s too bad they are not as concerned about our getting ripped off as they were when that iPhone 4 test phone was left at a store and picked up by someone else. My solution, other than not doing any business with apple which ain’t gonna happen here cause I am addicted to my iPhone. It is a “cool tool”,is when you want to buy an APP or a song from iTunes go get a iTunes card for the amount closest to the price and pay for it that way it’s not as easy as having you credit/debit info attached to your iTunes account but slot cheaper
