Sorry, but none. I have no interest in alerting people if I make a dumb mistake and get hacked.
Do you live in a bubble? Have you ever head of identity theft? Have you ever heard of stolen credit cards? People lose a hell of a lot more money than you, and they are no more special that you. Also, Apple is generally VERY helpful with issues such as yours. If you aren't being helped, perhaps there is a reason why.
I'm sorry, but you aren't a special snowflake. I do hope that you get your issue resolved, but this is not the "OMG ALERT THE PRESSES" issue like you seem to want it to be. If MacRumors ran a story for EVERY complaint similar to yours for every company, including identity thefts, there would be no other news. Ever.
Where to begin...
Please kindly don't assume that I'm an idiot who hasn't heard of identity theft and stolen credit cards as I have heard and read of stuff like that happening! In fact, it makes the news here in the UK on a regular basis, especially the newspapers and the likes of the BBC News!
If you had even bothered to read my thread from the start (which it looks like you haven't!), you would have known that I'm a Computer Studies degree student and stuff like computer security is one of the subjects that I'm studying as part of said degree, so I definitely know a lot about identity theft. On another note, I can definitely tell that you haven't bothered reading my thread because I already mentioned that I had my case resolved in the end with the aid of a very helpful CSA called Jessica.
BTW, I don't live in a bubble, I live in a flat, FYI!
Also, thank you for the compliment about being a "special snowflake", in fact, why are you calling me a "special snowflake"? Is this one of those terms that all the cool hipsters are using these days? (/sarcasm)
Why are you obsessed that this story isn't news even though it was reported all over the world that this was happening, especially with an App by a major games publisher like Sega? Tell me, I'd love to know the reason why this isn't news? Where did I say that this was major news? As I said in my original post, I was asking the people who run the site why didn't they do any coverage on this story seeing as it was on news sites like MSNBC, TVNZ and BetaNews unless you don't count them to be proper news sites? Please kindly don't say stuff that I didn't say just to try and prove a point.
Are you always this unfriendly towards people who are trying to help others (unless you're one of those people who believes that Apple can do no wrong and that anybody who even dares say that Apple isn't perfect are heretics and unbelievers)? You must be if you say that you don't care if you get hacked. In fact, if you do get hacked, you only have yourself to blame if your computer's security is poor and you lose money and you have to go through all the hassle of alerting your bank or credit card company if those details are attached to your account (Fortunately, mine is secure beyond belief!
) Sorry to be so blunt, but that's the way I am, or as we say in the UK, "I'm just stating the bleedin' obvious!"
I know that a site like MR can't run every story out there that's Apple-related, even if it makes Apple look bad, but as I said before, I was genuinely surprised that MR didn't cover said story even if it was just a tiny paragraph or two on the front page or as a thread in one of the forums.
How about at the end of the day that we just agree to disagree without you trying to prove that my story isn't supposedly newsworthy and that I shouldn't be allowed to help people here by warning them that their accounts are at danger of being hacked and money stolen from them.
