Apple's Developer Site Hacked


Apple's developer website has been shutdown due to hack attack last week.
"We'll be back soon", is the message on the website since last week. 

Apple said its developer site was targeted last Thursday by hackers. " An intruder attempted to secure personal information of our registered developers from our developer website. Sensitive personal information was encrypted and cannot be accessed, however, we have not been able to rule out the possibility that some developers’ names, mailing addresses, and/or email addresses may have been accessed.", Apple stated.

The company also said, they're working around the clock to get this issue fixed and in order to prevent a threat like this happening again in the future, "we’re completely overhauling our developer systems, updating our server software, and rebuilding our entire database." Apple said.
This outage may affect developers work as apple unveiled in June their beta version of IOS 7 for iPhones, iPods and iPads, as well as their OS X 10.9 "Mavericks" for laptops. The company expects to have the site back up again as soon as possible.
