I got 2 calls from 'apple' & no msg was left on my answering machine; considered that it was a scam like the ones pretending to be from the SSA.
Apple is not above 'mining' their customers' data. I received an email that something on my account got changed; waited about 2 weeks before doing anything then decided to check anyway.
My CC number was changed! This was the time about the big deal about chipped CC. I received a new chipped CC from a different issued by the bank who " repurchased" (?) their customers' accounts for CC; the apple account's CC# had expired during the time frame.
apple did use their big stick to obtain the replacement CC# from a different issuer. Guess an employee does go thru people's accounts for info to sell &/or change account info. I don't believe that apple is more secure than google; I now believe news stories of people getting new iphones & got them setup with other peoples data & profile.
