iTunes Connect Issue Causing Developers to Be Logged Into Wrong Accounts [Updated]

Instead of hoarding billions of dollars, they should spend some of it fixing their products and services.
 
Wow this is crazy. I also had a customer complain about an iap problem. Not sure if this is related but hopefully because I couldn't find anything wrong on my end. :/

Any lawyers on? This is more than a security breach. This is exposing confidential information including development plans from major companies. Apple is going to have a very tough time shrugging this one off. It won't be some ****** little firm with dubious class action lawsuits. This will be the legal departments from the major companies preparing the estimated damages. I don't think the terms and agreements can cover this either.

It appears as soon as Apple found out about it itunes connect was taken down. So how long was confidential information exposed?

Indeed. MacRumors members shouldn't post any screen captures or any other information either.
 
Sensitive info

Maybe you shouldn't post images with other companies' potentially sensitive / proprietary corporate information. If I were one of those companies, I'd probably take issue with it.
 
Something is very wrong

Look at screenshot from my Finder. This computer suddenly appeared there today. I don't know where it came from :(

The length of exposure really doesn't matter in this case. Hell, look at this thread. iTunes Connect was taken down and the information is still being exposed, and will continue to be exposed long after. MR should take down the personal info posted here. Whether we think the info is trivial or not, it belongs to someone.

This is Apple we're talking about. If you have an iPhone 4, you're still holding it wrong.
 
Update 10:13 AM: Apple is also acknowledging that its TestFlight beta services are also being affected, with users "unable to submit new apps and invite new testers."



Interesting I've never been able to use Testflight Ive gone in deleted and created a new signing certificate... I've gone in and deleted and recreated every single Provisioning Profile yet once I upload app to iTunes Connect tells me that build is missing Beta Entitlement but when click on link for FAQ clearly says that new provisioning profiles contain it automatically well obviously not as Ive deleted and created a new one and still don't work...

I agree, I think the personal information should be taken down.

My feelings exactly. A decade ago, Apple was the company that designed the technology I used, and allowed me to do what I wished to do. Today, Apple is the company that knows too much about me, decides what OS version I can deploy to, decides if my app can be distributed, stores my photos and music in their disk, decides when my hardware is obsolete...

So, no wonder we're messed up the day their security fails
 
every single time I think I am ready to jump "all in" with apple they go and do crap like this. I honestly have a hard time trusting them!
 
Umm i was logged in the NSA's account. JK but i don't seem why apple is having so many problems. I really think microsoft needs to help.
 
Wow. Am I the only one thinking this has been the most embarrassing two years in Apple's history? (Apple Maps misplacing whole towns, iCloud brute force attacks, broken wifi in Yosemite, and now this.) The MobileMe launch was embarrassing, as was the iPhone 4 antenna… but they kind of pale in comparison!

Meanwhile, they're making record profits because the latest iPhone has a bigger screen. Go figure.
 
This is pretty bad. This is something that really shouldn't be able to happen.

I would also urge others to not post screenshots if they saw other people's accounts, even if only out of a well-intentioned desire to show evidence of the problem, as I'm sure was the case, I'm sure many people wouldn't like their accounts being shown on a public forum through no fault of their own.
 
Maybe they can use some of their record profits to hire more people to improve the security and stability of their cloud services
