From the Clip Apple Hands Out Someone's Apple ID Password To Phisher posted by Mike:

I tried to log in to Apple Developer Connection this morning to find out that my password had been changed and the email associated with my account was now a yahoo.com address that wasn't mine. Luckily, my "security question" was still the same, so I was able to reset the password and email address back.

Based on the emails that have appeared in my .Mac mailbox, this was accomplished by sending this classy one-liner to Apple:

am forget my password of mac,did you give me password on new email marko.[redacted]@yahoo.com

I honestly can't believe that someone at Apple was stupid enough to actually let this slide through. How stupid do you have to be to blatantly hand over someone's credentials to a new email address that has someone else's name as part of the address?!

This is a serious offense and I hope security people descend upon this person's issue and tear Apple a new one. I'm as big of an Apple fan as you will encounter, but this is ridiculous and no amount of fanboyness will stop me from getting pissed off about this situation. Handing over an Apple ID allows someone to access many things, one of which is your iTunes account. I wonder what would've happened if this nefarious individual had purchased a few thousand dollars worth of albums? What would Apple's recourse be then?
