iTunes Accounts got Hacked by Vietnamese Guy!

Did you get your iTunes account hacked? Yes I think so, Go ahead and Check for it Now because a Vietnamese Developer, If you navigate to Books category of iPhone App Store and Check top paid apps, You will notice that there's a Developer who owns 40 apps. (WTF)
Also guys on The Next Web reporting that they got their iTunes accounts Hacked and they found themselves owners of the 40 apps.

Here's another iPhone Developer reporting that a Vietnamese Developer is hacking iTunes Accounts, he was the first who find that:

I’m the developer of the QuickReader iPhone application. I’ve been noticing over the past few days that my app along with yours has been slipping down in the rankings. On trying to figure out why, I discovered what appears to be a concerted and criminal effort to game the Books category rankings.

It looks like the Books category has been hijacked by an app publisher named mycompany/Thuat Nguyen. His apps now occupy 40 of the top 50 ranks in the Books category on the app store. These are apps that typically wouldn’t rank in the Books category and most of them don’t have any ratings or reviews. However if you look at the reviews for the Conan 3 app, you can see that 2 reviewers complain (as early as Monday the 28th) that their iTunes accounts were hacked and the apps were purchased by the hacker. It would appear that this publisher is hacking accounts and buying his own apps in order to drive up his rankings in the Books category.

This is having a negative impact on our apps, which are being pushed down in the rankings and losing visibility, plus it makes for a bad user experience.

iTunes Cloud and Wireless Sync Coming Soon [Confirmed]

Boy Genius Reports has just posted that an interesting article concerning some of iTunes Cloud services and features will be coming as Streaming music and movies from your computer to others, Also BGR announced an amazing serivce which is Wireless Sync with Devices!

Here's the Most important 3 Features:

Streaming music and movies from Apple’s servers to your computers, devices, etc.
Streaming music and movies from your home computers to your other computers, remote devices, etc.
Wireless iTunes syncing with devices

Here's the report from BGR:

For the first point, we have been told that this will work pretty much like you’d expect it to… pretty much any Apple device with wireless capability will have te ability to stream purchased content directly from Apple’s servers, thus eliminating the need for a lot of local storage. With the second point, Apple will reportedly let you be the content distributor to your own computers and devices, as any purchased content that’s locally on your computer will be able to be streamed using your internet connection out to your devices. Lastly, yes, wireless syncing of iTunes for devices.

For wireless syncing, we are told it will work pretty seamlessly. Any apps you buy for instance on your iPhone will immediately sync to your computer, changes to your calendar, or notes, or contacts will also automatically update on your computer as well. What good would all these new features be without some new devices? Apple’s traditional fall event (or maybe even before it) should bring at least “two new devices with camera/camcorder capabilities.” Well, there you have it!
