Rampant hacking of Apple accounts

quickOnTheUptake writes: Over the last 24 hrs. rumors of rampant hacking of Apples accounts have been coming out. From TNW:

On Sunday we reported details of how one specific app developer had managed to hack iTunes users accounts and use them to purchase his own apps – making it to the top of the iTunes charts.
As the story has developed, the problem has grown far more serious than initially thought a" not just that one particular developer and his apps — the Apple App store is filled with App Farms being used to steal.
