Hackers attempt Apple dev site breach

MCV Staff 22nd July 2013 Business News

Apple’s developer centre is currently offline and a message warns visitors that an attempt was made to access secure personal information of registered developers.

A Turkish security researcher now claims that he was responsible for the violation, which he claims has exposed flaws in Apple’s system.

Last Thursday [July 18th], an intruder attempted to secure personal information of our registered developers from our developer website,” read Apple’s message on theofficial 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."

[Industry news] Core Keeper’s ancient Core becomes a one of a kind gaming PC, to be won for charity

More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games. Every entry raises money for that work.
