They have know that people's Apple IDs were being hijacked. And they've chosen to do nothing about it. They use to send an eMail to the associated account, from which you had to click a link or paste it in your browser, to get to the page to do a password change. Now they will do a password change from a phone call, forms on the Developer Connection site, from within iTunes, and who knows how else. It's just too easy.
