Apple Developer Center hacked
In a statement emailed to all developers and posted on the Developer Center website, Apple explained what had happened and informed that the site is now down for the foreseeable future while it overhauls its security.
"Last Thursday, an intruder attempted to secure personal information of our registered developers from our developer website," the statement reads.
"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.
"In order to prevent a security threat like this from happening again, we're completely overhauling our developer systems, updating our server software, and rebuilding our entire database. We apologize for the significant inconvenience that our downtime has caused you and we expect to have the developer website up again soon."
In 2011, Apple was hacked by online hacktivists Anonymous but while the details of 27 usernames and passwords were leaked, no other customer data was exposed.

DubleJayJHoytVolkerDubleJayJVibeEditzParecyWoobieWell said Woobie.DubleJayJ And Apple falls down now too. Who's next? Microsoft? Let's hope.
They didn't fall, they slipped.
Why would you want Microsoft to be hacked?
If you owned a multi-billion dollar company, and someone said they wish you were hacked, you would laugh in their face because you have billions. I'm sure if Microsoft saw your comment, they would laugh in your face.
GTFO fanboy.
What a scrub lol. I'm a fanboy? Fanboy of what, Sony? Funny how I don't own a single Sony console. Secondly, they do need to be hacked. They need to change their money hungry ways.
the point of a company is too make money, your point is invalid...
To make money*
Secondly, they already make a lot of money as it is. To just keep on stacking useless **** is overkill. Gotta pay for Gold to watch Netflix? Stupid.
LOL I would like to try n see ANNON take down microsoft.
