| Apple Developer website hack |
The website's iOS and Mac Dev centers remain down as of publication. In the aftermath of the disclosure, a security researcher named Ibrahim Balic took credit for the hack, and claimed he was only attempting to alert Apple to the presence of vulnerabilities on the site. In a statement to developers on Sunday, Apple warned that its website had been taken down after the hack, and that personal data belonging to users may have been stolen by the culprit.
"Last Thursday, an intruder attempted to secure personal information of our registered developers from our developer website," according to a note posted on the 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. In the spirit of transparency, we want to inform you of the issue. We took the site down immediately on Thursday and have been working around the clock since then."
