Massive pirating iTunes accounts from China

In several Chinese sites offer pirated accounts Apple iTunes store. The internet, paying between three and 20 euros, you can get access to the codes of an employee. From here, the buyer can purchase songs from iTunes under the bank account holder who has stolen the code. An estimated 50,000 accounts are for sale in this illegal trade.

Although the offer makes sites in China are pirated accounts worldwide, in MacRumor, for example, there is a forum where many iTunes customers have found that the account used by a third party. "I have met with charges pending," said one, without having received information from them. In places such as Taobao, the Chinese equivalent of eBay auction site, you can find many offers of this type include the warning that purchases be made quickly before it discovered the fraud and blocked the account.

Taobao has explained that they do not accept the offer of illegal products, but have not received any complaints from Apple. It is not the first time that Apple addresses this problem. Reported last year to a developer who used stolen accounts to make purchases of its own application.
