Apple Developer Center Hacked, Some Developer Info May Have Been Accessed

Apple has announced that its developer center was hacked. Although sensitive personal information was encrypted, some developer info may have been accessed.

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.

I read a book in 2001, an author predicted of future wars through electronic means i.e cyber hacking, cyber war etc.. .. I think this is it..
We don't have computer controlled war machines in large scale, but if they're there and hacked, they'll start killing it's own people. We do have drones and stuffs like that, but some students showed how easy to hack 'em on the air. Right now, it's just the hacking of information/ and leaks etc.. in near future, it can create havoc as more and more life support systems,establishments etc are being connected to internet. In some part of the europe, they've smart cities, meaning they're all on grid, imagine someone hacking it's core system, it'd be chaos.. seriously..

@macini ,Its not just your phone number or email address.Once information is posted to a social networking site, it is no longer private.  The more information you post, the more vulnerable you may become.  Even when using high security settings, friends or websites may inadvertently leak your information. Personal information you share could be used to conduct attacks against you or your associates.  The more information shared, the more likely someone could impersonate you and trick one of your friends into sharing personal information, downloading malware, or providing access to restricted sites.Predators, hackers, business competitors, and foreign state actors troll social networking sites looking for information or people to target for exploitation. Information gleaned from social networking sites may be used to design a specific attack that does not come by way of the social networking site.

This is just the general things that we know or heard of. When you buy stuffs online you have a potential risk of getting you creditcard information hacked which  i am sure you dont want. Most of the information lets say classified or declassified or whatever you think it is are stored online they dont keep the file like they used to before. I am not saying you particular are in risk but think about it in general. You have you facebook account and if somene hacks into it i am sure you panic, you home your belongings and even your relatives or anything you think of are  @risk if these hacking continiues and goes to whole new level. They didnt just make cyber law for fun and Cyber thret is not just a word in a dictionary it sure does have a meaning.
