It is believed that many more iTunes accounts have been hacked than the 400 Apple depicted as an isolated case of fraud by a rogue iPhone application developer.
The California-bsed maker of the iPhone and iPad announced this week that after complaints from US consumers who discovered that their accounts had bought a Vietnamese-language electronic books by a independent developer using the name Thuat Nguyen, it had banned this user from the iTunes App Store.
However, many people called in question Apple’s reputation for strong security, indicating that it is stupid to think that Mr Nguyen was the only one who might be pulling such a scam.
In response to the alleged fraud case, Apple has tweaked the ordering process.
