Somehow, the iTunes Store has been hacked by an App Developer. The hacker somehow got access to iTunes users accounts, and with them, the hacker has purchased his Apps enough times to put them on the Top Apps category. In fact, the hacker has done it so many times that he currently has 40 of the top 50 Apps.
Many iTunes users have complained of having their accounts hacked and having hundreds of dollars spent on Apps that they did not purchase.
As a firm Mac lover and believer, I know they will resolve the issue quickly. A number of customers have already been given refunds, however, this goes to show that no one is ever completely safe on the internet. Even our most secure sites get hacked.

As a new member of Digg.com, I found this article and dugg it, because it is important news that consumers and customers need to be aware of. The growing popularity of iPhones and iPads and their millions of Apps make this a very large issue.
I still have faith in Apple, and will continue to purchase Apps, movies and songs from the iTunes store, however, I will keep a close eye on my account.
