Sophomoric view of online security and Apple’s iTunes by Sophie Borland in ThisIsMoney:
Millions of customers who use the online music store iTunes are at risk of hackers stealing money from their accounts… security experts say hackers are easily hijacking accounts by pretending they are a customer who has forgotten their password. Customers who have forgotten their passwords are prompted with the question they first selected when they set up their profile – as long as they give the correct answer, they can access the account.
Security analysts claim this is leaving the website wide open to fraud.
And that differs from every other commerce web site in the world how?
