APPLE |
The company's developer network - the place where apps are created - has been down for more than three days, without explanation.
However, this morning Apple sent an email to developers explaining that it had detected a breach on its servers on Thursday.
Apple told news.com.au that developer's information is encrypted, however says hackers may have accessed developer's names, email and physical addresses.
The hack only affected developer accounts. Customer credit card information and iTunes accounts were not compromised, Apple says.

The Development center is still down and Apple does not yet have a timeline for when it will return.
Technology blog, TechCrunch says it has received dozens of reports that developers have been receiving unsolicited password reset requests, a sign that cyber criminals could be trying to access developer accounts.
Apple told news.com.au that it was not aware users had been receiving password reset emails.
It is best to ignore any password reset emails. Anyone who is concerned should instead manually type in Apple's URL and reset your password in your account settings.
