Hey there.
I received two emails from Apple today.
First one said two things had been changed in my Apple ID. One was my name, the other one my credit card number.
Second mail said I had purchased some gift in the Apple Store or something.
And well I haven't done neither of those.
First assumption was someone had hacked my account so went here and logged in. Password was the same so pretty weird. Changed it anyways.
(Also noticed my name hadn't changed at all, at least not that I can recall).
I then went to the App Store in the Mac and checked the credit card number. Can't see the whole thing, but last 4 digits are different than the ones I used to have. Checked all my credit cards and none of them ends with those numbers.
I then got my iPhone and checked recently purchased apps. There seem to be two of them available now to download that I haven't purchased. Two FREE games.
So any ideas what might've happened here?
If this had been a hack the "hacker" would've downloaded some payment apps, right? He would've also changed the password and mainly, he wouldn't have put his own credit card into my account.
So again what the f-ck did happen here?
Thanks a lot if anyone comes with a reasonable explanation.
P.S: I've already considered:
1. Me being a sleepwalker which I highly doubt as I've never been one and I don't have the gift to make up credit card numbers with expiring dates and security numbers that actually match up and let me buy stuff.
2. Some random person entering my account by mistake. What are the odds of the guy guessing the password? (And no, wasn't an easy one, not at all)
