learned my lesson a few years ago when I had my Visa in Itunes, someone was able to steal it and made about 200 bucks worth of purchases for apps and cheesy movies

That's impossible, we've all been told time and again there has never been a security breach of any Apple product "in the wild"...;)

At least you won't lose money this time! And don't trust the App ratings either, since they're gamed as well, apparently...

Who ever said that?

The only thing I know of that sounds like that is the claim that there are no self-replicating viruses "in the wild" for OS-X. That is, all known malware for OS-X requires operator cooperation ("Please download and execute this code"), or physical access to the machine (in which case all bets are off for -any- product).

I personally do not know of any self-replicating viruses for OS-X, so you may have seen me make that claim for OS-X's security.

But to say that anybody claims "that there has never been a security breach of any Apple product" is really out there. They must not know about Mac OS 9 and prior. If you can come up with an FR post where somebody wrote that statement, I'll join you in your derision of them.

That's a promise, Puget.

I'll ping Swordmaker to this comment, since being the Apple thread master, he may know of someone who made such a claim.
