Apple’s Developer Center may be down due to a security breach.  Downtime may be due to a recently discovered vulnerability. And now as the team has twittered Apple Developer Center is back up after downtime.

Apple’s developer center has been unavailable over the past few hours without explanation. It’s not uncommon to see the site go down for a few hours near announcement events, but today’s reason might be more ominous. Multiple developers across Twitter are postulating that the downtime may be due to a hack.

A few developers have noticed that their developer profile addresses are now showing an address in Russia instead of their own. This has led some to speculate that maintenance in regards to a hack is behind the developer center’s downtime.

While developers may not need to access the site every moment of the day, it can cause development downtime. When compiling code using Apple’s development software Xcode, sometimes the application needs to phone home for code-signing requirements. This means that many devs can be left out in the cold while awaiting Apple’s maintenance.
