A new cyber-scam is causing security experts to warn the general public. The scam involves criminals using iTunes accounts and PayPal to steal from people. People are increasingly reporting incidents of theft and Apple is, as usual, keeping quiet despite the huge threat to data security.

Hackers are gaining access to the usernames and passwords of iTunes members and then charging large amounts to the victim’s PayPal account. PayPal has spoken up to say that any unauthorised payments will be refunded to people.
