Looks like YT wasn't the only casualty in today's hackings... Apple's store was also affected...

potentially related to the youtube hack today, apparently itunes has been hacked to unwittingly purchase some vietnamese guy's apps. his account has since been banned/deleted/whatever, but that's just nuts. glad i don't have an account.

Doubt its eBaums responsible for this one as well. Dont think they would do something that big, or indeed, would know how to do it.

Apple has a lot of explaining to do now I guess. And a lot of money to pay back. (Not like its going to hurt them though...).

Good thing I am all against iTunes. Beatport for the win!

Wikipedia happens to be down also, perhaps they've got to them too?

yeah, but i had problems with other sites at the same time. my work uses a checkpoint firewall that's been problematic since they installed it a year or so ago.

Says on Wikipedia's site they've got probs

anyways, back to the apple store...

apparently, theft is more rampant than previously led on...
