I don't have a CC nor PayPal tied to my account, as I don't buy a lot of stuff, so I just add it when I want to buy something then remove it right after. Pain in the butt, sure, but worth it in the end.

Wow, thanks for that, Hulk. My account was locked for security reasons about a month ago, and I wasn't sure why. Perhaps that was a first attempt by the hackers or something...I had changed my password then too, now that i think about it. I called Apple today, they said I'd have to wait 48 hours, which means Friday, which means Monday. I then called PayPal and they froze my account just in-case. Needless to say, I'm VERY frustrated with Apple at this point. I've been loyal to their company for years now, and I can't even feel secure using their software. That was my frustration with Apple. Why the hell does it take two days for them to do something if you get hacked. Seriously, WTF??? Can you imagine if you called the bank and told them your credit card got stolen and they took 48 hours to cancel it? I'd be looking for another bank. |

Well, some good news. Apple responded earlier than I expected and removed the charges. They even said in their reply that their reports are running rampant from this hacking incident. I removed my PayPal information and changed my password one last time.
Hopefully I'm safe. E-mailing Apple takes time but it helped.

Glad I don't have an Apple ID and just use iTunes to get free podcasts and use it to organize my music.

I see a lot of complaining in this thread but I have to give Apple a little credit. I went to make a purchase on there a few minutes ago and found my account had been locked. I hadn't noticed any charges I didn't make within the last few days and even checked a few minutes ago, still nothing there. They must have found my account to be at risk or something and took precautionary measures.

How do I deauthorize iTunes that's from another computer? That's the problem. You'll need to contact Apple or do what I did... I had it listed as 4 computers authorized. So I took my sister's laptop and authorized my iTunes account on hers. Once you have 5 computers authorized you can 'nuke' the authorized computers and they'll all be deauthorized. I haven't authorized any since this incident and I probably won't...  |

Thus the reason why I only use gift cards on the internet.

Thus the reason why I only use gift cards on the internet. None of my info was connected to my Apple ID, and I still was given an "outstanding balance". It could probably happen to anyone. |

Yeah exactly. My PayPal info was on my account but I was never charged via PayPal, I was only given an outstanding balance on my Apple ID. In reality, anyone with an Apple ID can have this happen. Which is why I don't understand why this isn't a bigger news story. |
