上週六我們報導過，Apple的開發者中心網站不尋常地超時進行維護。今天官方終於發表了聲明，確認是由於網站受到黑客的入侵攻擊，因上需要緊急暫停以便重新建立資料以及升級系統保安以防再度受到影響。
以下為聲明原文：

Apple Developer Website Update
Last Thursday, an intruder attempted to secure personal information of our registered developers from our developer website. 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. In the spirit of transparency, we want to inform you of the issue. We took the site down immediately on Thursday and have been working around the clock since then.
In order to prevent a security threat like this from happening again, we’re completely overhauling our developer systems, updating our server software, and rebuilding our entire database. We apologize for the significant inconvenience that our downtime has caused you and we expect to have the developer website up again soon.

Apple在聲明中強調開發者一些敏感的個人資料已受到加密保理應不會被盜取到，然而，也不能夠排除當中有部份開發商的名稱，地址，或email郵件地址等已被讀取的可能性。
是次攻擊的伺服器儲存的是開發者帳號的資料，並非一般使用者資料，而且重要資料已經過加密，因此大家也無需過於擔心。
