Claiming that he was only attempting to hunt for bugs — security researcher Ibrahim Balic has said that he was likely the source of a security breach, which forced Apple to take down their Developer Center portal last week.
Last Thursday, Apple's Developer Center, a dedicated resource for third-party software developers working with iOS and OS X, went down. The outage was noticed immediately, and for three days speculation ruled the blogs and various online haunts used by Apple developers. In many cases, the assumption was that the outage and the silence from Apple themselves on the cause and recovery, could only mean that bad things were yet to come.
On Sunday, Apple addressed the outage in a statement posted to the Developer's website, confirming some of the speculation that the outage was in fact due to a security incident.

The outage is still ongoing as of Monday afternoon, as access to the Developer Center remains blocked. The reason, Apple noted in their statement, is due to the recovery process that includes "completely overhauling our developer systems, updating our server software, and rebuilding our entire database."
