Hi all,
my kids are over in Europe and with them their iPads.
Both have an iTunes account connected with an e-mail address only used for this.
Short time afterwards I start to get some phishing spam claiming my iTunes account is suspended with lines as:
"During a recent review of your account we found that you are currently logging in from different cities in a suspicious manner that is not compliant with our account policies."
I find it quite scary how well-informed spammers seem to be about my (devices) location, combined with the link to the right e-mail address (iTunes account) used by this device.
My first guess an app (a game or so) collecting location and iTunes account from the device.
I find this very insufficient protection, behind the iTunes account are credit card details etc..
Regards Peter
