Apple Developer Site Down as Developers Report Possible Hack [Update: Apple Says No Breach]

I can confirm this is true. The developer account for my company was in fact hacked, which included our banking information (banking info was replaced with a Russian bank). It's a big deal, and definitely not something for people to be joking about. The fact that a company as big as Apple is this vulnerable should worry everyone.

 

I can confirm that my develop account banking information has not been altered at all, all my information is still correct on itunesconnect.

 

You appear to be in the UK. Wonder if this is something exclusive to the US.

It first became apparent when we received an auto-generated email from iTunes connect indicating that our banking information had been "updated".

 

ITS GOTTA BE...wait for it....

THE RUSSIANS!

 

Cook has pissed off the Russians

 

if I was the hacker, I wouldn't update the account I hacked with MY address. I can't believe a Russian hacker would even use a Russian address. I'm not saying it's not a hack, I'm just saying that I'm skeptical that it's Russians just because the address is in Russia.

 

This would be a very good time for you to disable Mac App Store auto-updates.

 

If you just look a little bit closer you can see it

Spoiler

 

ugh .. not good

 

Everything looks normal when I look at appleid.apple.com so fingers crossed any issue is limited to only a few accounts.

 

Notice it still says may. As in, never confirmed and no notice was released due to lack of affected parties i.e. didn't happen.

 

But it was never confirmed in the previous hack. Within 4 years, wouldn't they have contacted affected parties if it did happen...?

 

Bummer.

These state sponsored hacks are wrecking one of the greatest inventions greatest by man.

 

You're concerned about the site being down ?

I'm concerned with Russia getting all my information.

 

I wonder if this has anything to do with the huge amounts of fake downloads coming from China since August 13, 2017?

 

The applied.apple.com site doesn't' list your Developer account status and information, though.

 

That's not a good sign . . .

If developer accounts are linked to in-app purchases, then changing the info to their own bank account (set up solely for this purpose of course) would make sense. I do not know how IAPs work, but if payments automatically go to the banks, then hackers accessing the accounts and changing it to their banking info, as scfxmac said happened to him, there is potential for millions and millions of dollars to be at risk.

 

Hmm haven’t received any emails about information being changed

 

How? iTunesConnect has your bank account information, not developer.apple.com

 

It’s back up just looked a few seconds ago

 

wow right before the release. the election was one thing, if they f with my developer account this is war

 

All back up . . .
