Cyber crooks have seemingly got hold of a security flaw in Apple's iTunes which led to burgling of thousands of dollars from users' accounts.

Apple Insider reports claim that a vast number of iTunes users have fallen in the trap and their accounts have been looted via the online payment PayPal mode.

PayPal although has started reimbursing the sufferers, but claims that the flaw is with iTunes. Apple on the other hand has acknowledged the error and claims to be working out on a permanent fixture for the same.

Apple's official said that the recent security measures iTunes now asks for the constant re-entry of a customer's credit card security code.

It was further added, "But if your credit card or iTunes password is stolen and used on iTunes, we recommend that you contact your financial institution and enquire about cancelling the card and issuing a charge-back for any unauthorised transactions."
