A notice on the site said an intruder had "attempted to secure personal information of our registered developers" last Thursday, and that Apple had shut down the site.
While the site has been shuttered since the attack, the original notice said it was down for maintenance."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 said Monday. The tech firm said it had been working around the clock to fix the problem, updating its server software and rebuilding its entire database. It said it expects the site to be up and running soon.
