Credit card with John Appleseed

I tried to buy something online. When the auto fill wanted to show me my credit cards, a random credit number appeared from China union pay. Name was John Appleseed on the info.


i know about the John Appleseed stuff on apple keynotes and such .... but why did I never see that thing before ? Why China union pay ? I’m kinda very concerned about a China union pay just showing up on my phone out of nowhere ... and why only me and nobody else talks about it on any website/forums/etc ?? Thank you for your help to know if there is any issue about it or simply a confirmation that it is just a “joke” from apple !

Please answer the question! Why is the name John Appleseed and a credit card number listed in our iPhones? Was this an error? Or has the Apple platform been compromised?? We demand answers! If not, We will go to the media or maybe even to the competition for answers.

The specialists who answer here do not have a direct contact with the security specialists which is whey they posted a link regarding compromised accounts. They aren't refusing to do anything. Either click on the link they provided or call AppleCare and ask to be transferred to the Account Security Team.

No, this is a user-to-user technical support site operated by Apple. No Apple security employees use this site. There is not a problem you can either get through to the Apple people you need to speak to through that link or you can call AppleCare and ask to be transferred to the Apple Security Team. Those are the people you need to converse with.
