Let's throw some theories around, shall we?
I would guess that this an inside job that exploits a flaw in an account address change procedure. That would explain why Apple couldn't resolve the problem by patching up iTunes protocol, which would be the reasonable thing to expect if the flaw was exploited from the outside.
- Wilduck 15y agoI would guess it's a phishing/brute force scam, and the address change is (as mentioned in the article) just a way to validate that it worked. I would say that Apple's actions around refunds are just a simple way to make sure they don't take too much bad press while they try to find a way to prevent this from happening.
