Thanks to the swift reporting of the erroneous transactions by the affected Hungarian cardholders, the banking sector was informed and, as an intermediary, took immediate action to address the situation.
Accordingly, the banking sector contacted the service provider.

According to Apple, there are no indications of misuse, no misuse of customer data, no data has been compromised. Apple is accepting related customer inquiries.
Based on their feedback, Apple is in the process of refunding the amounts incorrectly charged due to a technical problem.
