So the story that started out “iTunes HACKED, bank account drained!” wasn’t Apple’s fault at all. There is no “major security hole” in iTunes or PayPal and Steve Jobs didn’t steal your money either. Damn, I was ready to pounce on this one too. ![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Reports are appearing this morning about a major security hole in iTunes accounts linked to PayPal. At least one group of scammers has found a way to charge thousands of dollars to iTunes accounts through PayPal. One targeted customer told us, “My account was charged over $4700. I called security at PayPal and was told a large number of iTunes store accounts were compromised.”
