Hey readers: Did anyone notice something different while tinkering with their iTunes Account today? Why do we ask? Well, we were puttering around with the credit card information associated with an iTunes account here at the office today. Upon saving those updated credentials, we noticed that Apple had sent us an email informing us that our account information had changed.
Very thoughtful of Cupertino, don't you think?
The thing is, upon reflection, we can't recall if any of us here have ever seen an email like that come down the pike before. How about it, guys and gals? Has anyone ever recieved an email from Apple notifying you of a change to your iTunes Account? If so, let us know. If not, well, let's call it a new security feature rolled out to coincide with the launch of the Mac App Store.

I didn't get that email. If I did it was probably treated as spam. However, when I tried to use the App Store for the first time I had to re-enter my username and password for my Apple Account.

I have also received an email right before the start of the new year. I mainly changed my account info, due to the fact that I had leftover giftcard balance, and my account was hacked, and I lost all of the balance. I immediately removed my credit card info.

I believe since the last update of Itunes that this has been present. I have received an email also when I updated or changed my info last month.
And Adam2000 is right, they require a tougher password now.

It might not be that new but it is certainly a recent change. I changed few things in my account yesterday including the password and I noticed they require using much complex passwords. The last time I changed anything in my account was a year ago and I did not receive any notifying email.

Ya, me too. Since I'm the kind of person that saves email, I can tell you that I received an Account Info Change email on December 20th. Good to see you guys are on top of things!
