Apple apologized today over stolen Apple IDs that were used to make unauthorized App Store purchases in China. The Wall Street Journal reports that the IDs were obtained through phishing scams. Users had connected their Apple accounts to mobile payment systems Alipay and WeChat Pay; these IDs were then used to purchases through the App Store. "We are deeply apologetic about the inconvenience caused to our customers by these phishing scams," Apple said in a statement to its Chinese users.
