The company just sent developers an email explanation, after pushing them off for the past three days with notices that the site was down for maintenance.
Apple says developers’ “sensitive personal information” was encrypted, so it has not been accessed.
Before it reopens the developer site, Apple is “completely overhauling our developer systems, updating our server software, and rebuilding our entire database,” the email said.
Good on Apple for being transparent on this matter. My guess is the company is taking their time to get the right fixes put in place. It’ll be interesting to hear more details if they leak out, but it seems that credit card and password information is safe.
