Put an End to Spam, Scams, and Robocalls on Your iPhone


Only 400 Accounts Were Affected in Developer Exploit

When we broke news about various iTunes accounts being compromised, the Internet went a little crazy. Some of you commenters took time to tell us about your troubles, but luckly it was just a few of you and not all of you. If you were one of the 400 affected, Apple has basically come out and said you’ve been struck by lightning (0.0003% of iTunes users were affected). While they recognize the issue, they also say the App Store wasn’t hacked. Of the victims of this terrible scam, we hope you’ve worked everything out with your financial institution, and for those still on lockdown, you can safely add a credit card or other form of payment back into your account info.
