iTunes compromised again...
Looks like this time it involves Paypal:

The Macworld article mentions "coupons" for iTunes discounts that "expire in 24hrs" or whatever, and Apple states that their coupons do not expire. It does sound like a phishing problem.

Much as I am not an Apple fan, this does not look like any kind of issue with Apple to me. It's a standard phishing scam where ITunes just happens to be the vehicle of choice this time.
