Dear WAMUGers, I received an email, supposedly from Apple, that says someone has used my ID to sign in on Face Time and iMessage on a phone that is not mine.
The page looks authentic, (and probably is), but as I filled out the form to unblock my ID, some of the questions are: all the details of my credit card, bank account number, bank BSB. In this day and age of increasingly sophisticated hacking, what a bonanza for some criminal. Apple really shouldn’t lump these questions together. I put in all my personal data, and answered the security question. But I really baulk at supplying these important card and bank account details in this manner. Shame on you, Apple! You need to make it a 2-stage procedure: First get some of the information verified - email address, date of birth, address. Then, in the second stage, get the financial information, if you must. What do you think;? Should I just meekly fill in the form and hope for the best? At the very least, I would like to make Apple aware of this bad idea. Apologies for the rant.
