Never had credit details stolen before! I ran literally over 20 different types of malware scans on both computers, wondering how on Earth it happened, and couldn't find anything after days & days of continuous scanning. Then we found out from the BBC that iTunes hadn't properly protected thousands of people's account details. Gah...!

You'd think they'd apologise to each customer affected by their negligence or something, but ... nothing. Not a good first experience.
