[CAUT] Paypal

[Susan Kline]

Steve, as I see it, the problem is this:

Someone hacked Avery's iTunes password, but to 
pay for it with Paypal, they'd have had to 
somehow hack into his Paypal account as well. 
When I go to pay for something with Paypal, I 
have to sign in and use my password. If somebody 
got into Avery's Paypal account without his 
password, this is Paypal's problem. Unless, of 
course, Avery's iTunes password and his Paypal 
password were the same -- never a good idea.
