hacked iTunes accounts. My wife thought she'd try out iTunes this year and started with an Enya album. A short time later she was called by the bank because of a series of suspicious iTunes and Netflix purchases - someone had been using her credit card on the net.
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.
