Itunes account hacked ???

Anonymous
Not applicable
Last night I tried to install a free app to my ip4, before the download i was asked to verify my details and re-enter the last 3 digits on the back of my card used for Itunes as my computer had been logged in on another computer and needed to be verified ??? I only ever log onto 1 computer, mine at home !

Me being a bit suspicious declined the verification and proceeded to update some other apps but was presented with the same request. I then logged into itunes on my desktop, changed my password then made the verification and all apps were downloading again on my ip4 fine as usual.

I awoke this morning to find a suspicious transaction of £1.58 taken from my bank account used for itunes although it dosent state from itunes yet as it can take a couple of days to show up online ???

Now with all this media about itunes being hacked lately and some people loosing hundreds of dollars in bogus app purchases im a bit worried.

Is this small ammount the start of somthing bigger to come out of my account later or is this a check made by Apple as I verified my bank card that will be refunded later ?

Anyone else had somthing similar ?

Is this legit or have I been done over ???

Ok, all is fine ;o)

Apple Itunes eventually got back to me, it was a verification charge which went back into my account. Apparently Apple have increased its security with itunes and they will randomly make checks every now and again.

Phew ... all back to normal again ... for now !
