Identity Thieves Take a Bite Out of Apple
Scammers have found a way to exploit a product financing offer at Apple that issues instant credit for online purchases. Identity Theft 911, a provider of identity theft resolution services, has received nearly two dozen consumer complaints related to unauthorized purchases made through the online Apple Store by way of an offer to provide instant financing through Barclaycard. All the scammers need are a victims name, birth date, address, Social Security number, employer and email address, which are the basic types of information commonly exposed in consumer data breaches.
