That's nasty
unfortunately these people are scumbags who don't care who they steal from. I have different passwords for accounts online so my paypal password is entirely different to anything else although it could still be hacked because it can happen to anyone.
I am very surprised and saddened that Apple have not admitted some part in this and given your brother some compensation. If it were me, I would be writing them a very strongly worded letter about their iTunes software!
I'm not Apoles biggest fan right now. My original iPod died after about 14 months, my MacBook died after just 18 months my iPhone crashes constantly and don't get me started on iTunes. I'm not overly impressed anyway.
