According to various newspapers and Apple video bloggers, online criminals have been infecting people's PC's and Macs with malware disguised as an iTunes gift card. Although hard to tackle, I personally believe that this won't be a tricky problem for Apple to fix - although if they don't act quickly, they could lose out on a lot of revenue; the malware virus is disguised as their iTunes gift card, and with this scam now available for the public to read up about, it will make potential customers wary when buying anything with the Apple logo online. Although Apple has a huge reputation for the fashionable and trendy, (Yet extortionately priced), technology that they reveal to the world multiple times a year, it does leave us with questions like 'Should an issue like this be such a hard task for the brand?'. Only time will tell. Apple Scam
