Recently, Apple iPhone has once again been caught in the 'discrimination' controversy. Not only is the same service iOS subscription more expensive than the Android version (which is the 'Apple tax' mentioned earlier), but there may also be a number of 'unclear invoices', inadvertently. Your money is spent.
According to Mr. Zhu from Hangzhou, without using a mobile phone, on May 7th from 8:50 pm to 9:10pm, his own Apple ID account has consumed more than 30 pens on the App Store and Apple Music. The total amount reached 14459 yuan, with a single maximum of 618 yuan, and a small amount of 45 yuan. Querying the bill shows that these purchases are for a piece of ingot in a mobile game, and Mr. Zhu himself has not played the game. Mr. Zhu also mentioned that To, Apple ID has a bound Alipay account, and opened a free payment, and Apple ID has been using fingerprint payment.
In response, Apple's customer service staff stated that 'Mr. Zhu's Apple ID may have been stolen. Fingerprint payment is based on password payment. After opening 'Double Verification', there will be a reminder for remote landing and the mobile phone number to be verified by SMS. Can log in. '
Many iOS users report that they all have similar experiences. Have you ever had?

In this way, when you log in to Apple ID outside your own (trusted) device, you need to enter the verification code (text message or phone call), and you can also enable it. APP-specific password' further protects the user's security. Guide: Login to Apple ID management interface, select 'security' service, open 'dual verification', generate 'APP-specific password'.

2. Indeed, as Apple officials say, fingerprint payment, etc. is based on password payment. Currently Apple ID supports bank card, Alipay, WeChat and other payment methods. Most of the time, for convenience, direct (small amount of) non-secret payment is enabled, or This is the popular facial recognition payment function. Although this operation is simpler, the security risks still exist. You may be allowed to purchase a service if you are not careful. Even if you don’t check it carefully after receiving the bill, you will not find it. If you lose more, the ultimate loss will be great. Therefore, the third-party APP's authorization, free payment or careful open...
