The hacker apparently attempted to access personal information about the developers. The hack only affected developer accounts. The company confirmed the outage was because of a hack on its system. Apple told that developer's information is encrypted, however says hackers may have accessed developer's names, email and physical addresses. The silver lining, at least Apple were forthcoming regarding the outage. Apples developers website, the site where app developers go for tools and resources to write softwares for Macs, iPhones, and iPads, has been down for the last few days. We took the site down immediately on Thursday and have been working around the clock since then.Īpple is believed to be taking the matter very seriously and is looking at rebuilding the developer system database to prevent further uninvited access. In the spirit of transparency, we want to inform you of the issue. 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. After similar attacks on Facebook, Apple admitted its own systems were infected and released a removal tool a few months ago. Last Thursday, an intruder attempted to secure personal information of our registered developers from our developer website. The boy allegedly infiltrated Apples systems multiple times over the course of a year, and in addition to 90GB of files, also accessed authorised keys. Looks like they’ve identified an attempt to access personal information from their developer website. Apple have finally released an official statement regarding the outage. Apple developers would have noticed the unavailability of the developer portal over the past few days. Apple Developer (formerly Apple Developer Connection) is Apple Inc.s website for software development tools, application programming interfaces (APIs).
