Credit card hacked thru iTunes?

I have a credit card that wasn't stolen, and has no balance on it. However, the day after I made an iTunes purchase for $1 (I bought one song), someone tried to charge $2,700 on my card. My credit card company called me to ask if I authorized that charge (I didn't even know about it) and consequently that card has been closed.
Coincidence?
Is there any way that credit card information, which I typed into iTunes store the day I bought that song and the day before the fraudulent charge, could have been hacked?

I'm on here trying to find out if I can track who's account those songs went to. Anybody have any tips?
There's no way you're going to be able to do that yourself. You'll need to have your credit card company's security division get in touch with Apple; the CC company and law enforcement officials are the only ones to whom Apple would release any such account information (and then perhaps only with a court order).
Strange that both of you have had the same amount - $2700.00 - illegally charged.

  • Credit card hacked, thru Safari?

    Greetings. Recently my credit card was hacked for plane tickets on an airline that doesn't fly to or from the U.S. where I live. I'm guessing it was somehow taken when I used my credit card for whatever reason on my Macbook Pro with Snow Leopard.
    I'm wondering what I can do to stop this from happening again. Is it possible there is something on my computer that is allowing someone to see when I use my credit card online? I've never had something like this happen so I'm really just grasping at straws for any way to protect myself. Thanks for any help.

    Has FoxFith says the card could have been compromised many ways, have you reasons to suspect the MacBook. The MacBook could be the weak point if you have been using software with known vulnerabilities but unless you have good reason to suspect it the problem is probably elsewhere.
    if you know the MacBook is definitely the problem, like any other operating system the only sure way is a software reload from known clean sources and a clean formatted hard disk drive to start with.
    if you go down this route make sure you have known tested backups of your user data and reliable sources for the OS and software.
    Edit. Just noticed your second post, just because the card was compromised in the US does not mean that data would be used there, it could have been sold to anywhere in the world.
    hope you get it sorted, not a nice thing to happen to anyone.

  • I currently have my credit card on my iTunes account and when I have no money in my bank account it won't let me download the free apps even though they don't cost anything. How do I stop this so I can download or remove my credit card?

    I currently have my credit card on my iTunes account and when I have no money in my bank account it won't let me download the free apps even though they don't cost anything. How do I stop this so I can download or remove my credit card?

    All downloads from iTunes are tied to the account that downloaded it, you can't re-download content via a different account. You checked the spam folder on yourr old account as well as the Inbox, and depending upon how long ago you did it, have you retried getting it reset : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password' ?

  • How do you delete your credit card information from iTunes

    I'm trying to delete my credit card information in iTunes off my ipad but its not giving me the option to. Yes I've tried settings>iCloud>apple I'd also I have tried settings>store>apple I'd . It just won't let me do it. Also I redeemed money from a gift card with iTunes but it won't let me do it because of my credit card.

    If you go to settings/store click on apple id and view account, if you cant change your payment method to none then you prob owe a balance.<----this happened to me.  To verify this login to your account on itunes on the computer and click purchase history.  if it shows you owe a balance you will have to pay it before you can remove your payment info

  • How do I remove my credit card off my iTunes account?

    I'm trying to remove my credit card from my iTunes account, but there isn't an option to do so. I can't download or update any of my apps on my iTunes either because of my credit card. Please help me! It's been a month or so already and I can't find any solutions. I've tried searching on the web for solutions but nothing seemed to work.

    You seem to have the same problem I had. Lots of people gave me the same answers as you got but I found a solution on my own. What happens when you try to purchase something on itunes and your card is declined is your account is frozen until it is paid. For some reason itunes doesn't just simply cancel the order, so what I did was went to a store and bought an itunes card to shut it up and unfreeze my account then removed my card. Apple has designed their store absolutely horribly in order to force their customers to sink countless amounts of money into their store.
