I've only just read that article, so I might be incorrect.
It doesn't look like the iTunes *Store* was hacked, just a LOT of user accounts. Those accounts were then used to buy the hacker's apps.

The fact that apps were approved and were instrumental in gaining access to user accounts is bad. Then the accounts were hacked and all Apple has stated so far was "change your account password" just screams "bad business" to me.
So if it were the store or accounts hacked, it's not an ideal situation.

It would be nice if they offered a checkbox to "not store your billing information" after a transaction has completed. This is evidence that it might be a good idea.
