Police say anyone who suspects that their iTunes accounts have been hacked can lodge a report via the Electronic Police Centre or at any Neighbourhood Police Centre or Police Post.
The report should include the user's identity for the iTunes account as well as the date, amount and description of any unauthorised transactions.
Police also remind the public to be vigilant when using such online services.
They also urge the following preventive measures:
- Never send money, or give credit card or online account details to anyone you do not know and trust, especially if you have not met him/her before.
- Ensure you know how to stop any subscription service you want to sign up to.
- Check website addresses carefully. Scammers often set up fake websites with very similar addresses.
- No one should ever release their confidential information, such as account user id, password, PIN, credit card details etc. to anyone over an email.
