hmm. that article just explains further what the app was stealing and about user notifications that most ignored. it's as bad as windows vista/7's UAC. they spammed users with so many notices people just wanted to shut it all off.
the hacked itunes accounts were exactly that, itunes accounts, they had nothing to do with iOS or iphone apps. to my knowledge not a single iOS application asks you for the details of your iTunes account and there is no way to get this information off of your iOS device. even apple's applications ask for your password when making purchases, so the information is not stored anywhere. and i highly doubt any application that asked for such information would be allowed to pass through apple's gatekeepers. a developer couldn't even come up with a plausible excuse for needing such information as apps have no data stored in the itunes store.
