Phishing e-mails have been spotted recently claiming to be from the iTunes Store, asking the recipients to log into an iTunes billing update page and give away their credit card numbers. These e-mails are no different from other attempts to get eBay, PayPal and bank users to give up their identity. While they may fool some, a bit of reflection should tell you that Apple would never send such an e-mail: all your iTunes account management – including your billing information – is done via the iTunes application itself, and never on a web page in a browser. So if you get one of these messages, you can just press the Delete key.
