We told you about a few suspicious apps made by a Vietnam-based Thuat Nguyen which were eating up money from certain app store and iTunes clients. As it turns out, Apple just got rid of all the apps made by this developer. Apple said that the developer violated the Program License Agreement in a way that rigged fraudulent purchases of his e-books. A few hundred users were charged as high as $600 for the ebooks they never purchased. We recommend our readers to check their iTunes account and remove all the sensitive information which can lead to monitory loss.

However if you are already a victim of this attack, you have to contact your bank on your own and talk about the chargebacks. Apple didn’t provide any special help in this regard. Although we still wonder that how could Apple miss the fact that 40+ apps out of top 50 belonged to a single developer in a particular category. Wasn’t it enough to ring the bells? Also we feel that it should be the moral responsibility of Apple to help the victims in any possible way. “Talk to your bank” is kind of blunt. Isn’t it?
