With all the attention that Apple’s iTunes App Store is getting, it’s not too surprising that many folks are trying to see if they can make any mischief with it. Recently iTunes was hit by an account fraud issue which saw many users receiving quite a bit of unauthorized charges to their accounts. In a move to prevent such things happening again, Apple has put in place stronger security measures to protect user accounts. With the new security measures, users will need to enter their credit card security code on each new computer or device that they register with their account. Whether this will help prevent issues with fraud in the future remains to be seen, but hopefully it’ll significantly reduce the number of cases that occur.
