• Apple Developer Website Hacked: Developer Names, Addresses May Have Been Taken

In an email to developers today, Apple revealed that its Developer Center website was breached by unknown hackers and was taken offline last Thursday as a precaution.

• UPDATE: Turkish hacker posts video of Apple Dev Centre breach | ITProPortal.com

\”This is definitely not an hack attack. I have reported all the bugs I have found to the company and waited for approval. I am being accused of hacking but I have not given any harm to the system and i did notwanted to damage [sic],\” writes the user Ibrahim Baliç.

He has since told the Guardian, \”My intention was not attacking. In total I found 13 bugs and reported [them] directly one by one to Apple straight away. Just after my reporting [the] dev center got closed. I have not heard anything from them, and they announced that they got attacked. My aim was to report bugs and collect the datas [sic] for the purpose of seeing how deep I can go with it.\”
