If I am understanding this thread correctly, Apple might disable your AppleID if your credit card is stolen... even if the fraudulent charge doesn't even happen on your account. It's crazy that disabling an AppleID is a remedy for *anything*, let alone things not happening on your account. That means you’d lose all your emails on iCloud, BACKUPS on iCloud, data, your logins to every site you used sign-in-with-Apple, the list goes on. This is absolutely crazy.
