I'm on my ethernet network. Only one computer behind router with DHCP and firewall.
It's some bonjour computer behind router running remote frame buffer. I have to check my firewall setting.
Not surprised. Experience the same problem with iTunes
Songs appear in different folders, get different names, album covers. That's how apple works. Just take a look into the folder structure of iPhoto for example. Total mess.

It's been a good 3-4 weeks since we heard of another Eddie Cue fail, I thought maybe he was on vacation.
Sounds like you might need a vacation from "watching" his vacation.
Another non story.
A company that adds 75 million new devices to consumers actually did a FRICKING amazing job getting that done. If your so concerned about what Mr Cue is up to - what are you doing? Selling at a local supermarket.

Wow this is as serious as terrorists beheading another hostage!
The sun is out today.. Go for a walk.
Please mate, that is complete rubbish. This even made it as a story on MR before apple finally took down the service. It made social media.
I'm assuming your not a dev who might have just had thier apps exposed to some random users, could have been single digits, double digits or more. Sure they could not do anything, though imagine that app you were working on, and in the weeks to come beats you to putting something live
I'd say it was exposed long enough. I can't be bothered to do the calculations, though if it hits MR and people on here are commenting they have expericed the issue, there is a hell of a lot of devs worldwide for this to be a major privacy fubar.
You guys are logging in wrong
Everyone knows it just works
That's what Apple wants you to think.
... waiting on the detailed explanation from Apple.

Look at screenshot from my Finder. This computer suddenly appeared there today. I don't know where it came from
Hahaha... welcome to neighbourhood networks. That's what cable networks are... you share the same subnet as your neighbours, so any shared devices may appear on your computer, depending on how your local network is set up.
Is everything web-related still being run on WebObjects at Apple? I know a few years ago a lot of it still was. Seems like maybe time for something a little more modern, like something that has received an update in the last 10 years?
Other options:
- Threading error some part of the infrastructure.
- A cache/load balancer holding onto the SetCookie response header and sending it to another client.
It would be interesting to know, but I doubt we will ever find out.
I hasten to add that list is of course purely hypothetical and is in no way based on real life events. And certainly none of the above has ever occurred on any system on which I have worked.
i don't know ... removing BB's apps and forcing them to re-look at their offerings could be a GREAT thing for everyone
(yes former BB fan ... twice bitten by iOS mostly due to OSX ... )
Bigger than just iTunes Connect ???
This hiccup may be a much bigger issue, that is just not being noticed by most users unless it is in their face.
Response #53 above (from Touchmint) notes that they recently also had a customer complain about an iap problem.
Similar cross-compromise of customer accounts appears to have happened with the MacUpdate Desktop program over the past week or two: http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/8544/macupdate-desktop
I am not a developer, but I would be looking for a common coding demoninator between the way Touchmint, Macupdate Desktop and iTunes Connect registers customer log-ins.
