Apple iTunes now more secured by CCV code


After barring the fraudulent Vietnamese program developer from its iTunes application store, Apple has armed itself with new security measures in iTunes. Apple users have to now enter their three or four digit CCV code on their credit cards while buying or accessing iTunes from a new computer.

"Developer Thuat Nguyen and his apps were removed from the App Store for violating the developer Program License Agreement, including fraudulent purchase patterns," Apple said.


Apple advises its users to get in touch with their respective financial institutions and change the iTunes password, when their iTunes password is stolen and used on iTunes. App Store offers both free and paid applications for the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. Any further details about incident involving the App Store has not been provided.
