If something goes down without warning and there's no response from the organization about why it's down or when it will be back up, security incident is a natural line of thinking. Especially considering it is Apple, they'll likely keep quiet until they know exactly what is going on and how they will resolve it before saying anything on the matter. If it was just power or network, they'd have it back online pretty q…
I'm guessing we will never hear anything regarding the matter.
If it was a breech, whether we hear something about it depends on what was accessed and what California's laws have to say about data breech notification requirements.

Thanks! Looking for a later version, but appreciate the help.
If you have another machine with the tools installed, you may find the DMG you want in ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.dt.Xcode/Downloads

I'd think that Apple would be happy to tell us it was a simple power/network failure were that the case. Sudden shutdown of vital service + silence = most likely a security prob. I'm not saying that's what it is but it seems likely.
Silence really doesn't imply anything except that the responsible parties are busy fixing things and that there may not be hands free/allocated to communicate with the outside world. IMO not communicating with the outside world is a fail, but I've seen delays in this when small teams suddenly get swamped.
I'm sure that the PR department is not busy fixing this technical issue.

If it was a security breach, and any data was leaked, they have a responsibility to inform anyone affected. At least in California http://oag.ca.gov/ecrime/databreach/reporting

#87I find it curious no apple rep is here, commenting on this post.
Really? When have you ever seen Apple reach out to the outside tech community, ever?
They sometimes do, even if you don't count shutting down the operations for a week every WWDC. Examples:

* http://daringfireball.net/2012/02/mountain_lion
Unless by "outside" you mean those they don't reach out to, but that would be true by definition and so fairly moot.

Right, that page doesn't even have the capability of reporting this outage. Kind of makes it a bit unreliable as a status page, you know?
:| It doesn't make it unreliable as a status page showing the status of those things it's intended to show the status of.
No, of course not. It makes it unreliable as an indicator of the Apple ecosystem's platform status. Which would be fine, were this not the only such status page Apple provides.
I'm saying it's lacking, not broken.

#90This is a major bummer. I wanted to push out some more TestFlight builds yesterday and have been in limbo ever since.
