Except this is not a continuation of the previous science fiction movie hit starring Will Smith.
I wonder if any of you had experience of inaccessibility of some websites like iTunes and Youtube, which resulted Google suspending Youtube's comments section for two hours whilst it repaired the problem and blamed a flaw in the website’s scripting.
Whilst, users accessing their iTunes accounts next noticed something was amiss when they noticed hundreds of pounds in unauthorized charges of up to £900 going through on their cards, tech blogs reported.
The problem also extended into all websites associated with the Wiki Foundation, which publishes on-line encyclopedia Wikipedia, went down.
As for me, I had problem accessing Google's homepage but as I was on the flight to Cape Town, I just thought nothing of it. So, I am surprise to find that there these sites were actually being hacked.
For any members of internet access into iTunes or similar I think it would be good to check that there had not been any excessive or suspicious charges.
Take care and do share if you have had an eventful July 4, Sunday.
