Apple security . . . third times the charm

I've had my iTunes account abused twice. Both times I was able to get refunded the costs but now another article:

I'm not selling my Macs but along with a Skype hack four years ago, I don't trust 'cloud' security or Apple security one bit AND by association every other Internet based business. When my junk mail filled with Facebook initiated junk mail, I eventually got off that ride. Twitter seems headed down the same rat-hole.

Apple is in denial that they have a problem but so too is every other Internet business that steals from their customers:

• Spokeo - stealthly charged me for 3 months service without my OK each time.
• Consumer Reports - only allows a automatic renewal so I only subscribe when I know my credit card will expire within a year.
• solicitations to 'keep credit card information' - always refused

Truth be told, most of these thieves are discovered when they try to used an expired credit card. I am actually thinking in terms of getting one-time, credit cards for such payments and annually replacing the cards so they are expired.
