I've been online shopping for years and never had any trouble. I honestly don't think this is an online shopping issue as such, it appears Apple Online have been hacked. Yes, you could argue that Apple must've had my Visa card details and it's become accessible. It's interesting, these days more and more online shopping is becoming prevalent. You'd think Apple have pretty good security, but by the same token they're a pretty big target, probably second only to Microsoft.

They checked my card details against the purchase and came back with a vietnamese name at a Vic address. "Errr - that's not me!" I said.
I had an interesting morning too - yesterday!
Cancelled card, talked to apple online store, Police.
Bank are investigating - no immediate refund though.

Sorry to hear that, Doug. The purchases on mine were made 18/8/10, but only showed up on Visa statement 23/8, and I only noticed it today.
They actually tried a fourth order for headphones, but that one was rejected because the card was over limit.
