Ok first of all I have fine that my Apple ID has been hackedI received an email from apple saying that my email address, password, billing address, and credit card info on my Apple ID account had been changed. At first I was thinking this was a bogus email until I tried to log into my account (directly from apple's website, not through any links in the email) and nothing, looks like nothing of my account works. And looks like someone tire to buy $200 dollars of gift cards from my account.

Apple has done absolutely nothing to help me.

And today the same think happen to my brother, the worst part is that the thief's send an alert to all his apple products (macbook, iphone and Ipad) that those were stolen, and he just lost all the information on his devices I mean ALL photos, contacts, documents, everything.

And now that I check on the internet about Apple ID Hack, it looks like that there are lots and lots of people with this problem.

When all the PSN hacked happen everyone panic, everyone told Sony they sucked, but no CC info was in danger.

When that happen to MS everyone attacked them too, not like Sony but they did.

And now that the all mighty Apple has a huge security problem no one talks about it.

Sony's network was hacked by a bunch of very savvy guys. Now it wasn't the toughest network in the world to hack, but now it's now extremely tough to hack.

You really kept your credit card information stored online where it could be hacked? It doesn't even matter if it was Apple or not. Same issue if it was Sony, Microsoft or whoever.

How stupid are you?

Yeah, being hacked sucks big time.

My first ever Blizzard game, Diablo 3, took 10 days after I got it to get my account hacked.

Everything got stolen...My gold, stash, weapons...everything.

It sucked big time. But Blizzard was very helpful and restroed my account. What really sucked was that at the time I was level 25 with 25000 in gold. But they could only restore me to level 21 with like 4000 gold. They said that was my most recent server save point. But at least I didn't have to play from level 25 with no weapons or anything.

It took them around 36 hours to have it all taken care of. A bit long, but better than nothing I suppose.

If you play Diablo 3, make sure you use an Authenticator. If you check online, Diablo 3 hacking and account theft is freaking rampant.

Any connected device in the world is vulnerable to security flaws. The least secure OS in the world is still Windows. People who crucified Sony and then defended M$ when it was their turn are imbeciles who know nothing about computers. Apple, M$ and Sony are all responsible for their own security but they're vulnerable.

Totally agree, but my pont remains.

Why no one talks about Apple's security problem and everyone talks about Sony's and MS's

Apple's Security is and I would say it's worse on their OS front than Windows. They just ignore it and don't tell you there is a hole until the next maintenance release is pushed down and then they go oh by the way.....

They never have took is serious and Safari is always the first browser to fall during all those Hacking Conferences. They just have a relaxed attitude towards but as they are trying to tie everything together with all their devices I think it's a wake up call right now.

I wouldn't dump a Macbook for those reasons, the machine is still a nice machine. Vaio's are just...well Sony Vaio's haha and Alienware's are just re-badged Dell's anymore and you could probably get the same XPS line from Dell cheaper than the Alienware version.

Both charge money for their brand name, as does Apple. The laptop brand with the lowest failure rate is ASUS believe it or not. Go for one of their gaming laptops, much cheaper than Alienware for the same raw power and with a much better warranty policy.

You can't get GTX or high end AMD cards in XPS's. ASUS have the best gaming laptops.

You want to get a notebook? I'd guess go with Asus or Acer. I'm very happy with mine and it runs pretty much every game with it's i7-3610QM and GT 650M

I realize that but he isn't asking about ASUS machines so I'm just filling him on those over Apple.

He may not be asking because he isn't informed, since Vaio, Apple and Alienware are some of the most advertised on the market, where as ASUS is not.

I couldn't help but think that I'd find that a lot more credible if that information came from any other user

So one guy gets hacked and suddenly it's all Apples fault? Even the weakest of security and encryption stops attacks, must be your machine with a keylogger or something. Your own fault.
