Except for the AWS EBS outage a couple of years ago which had nothing to do with a security breach. http://aws.amazon.com/message/65648/ Cascading catastrophic failures do happen that don't involve security.
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.

Really? With the multi-region AWS failure, Amazon was very reluctant to even confirm it was happening for a while, and didn't explain it for weeks afterwards.

Or alternatively, "oops, how much customer data have we accidentally irreparably destroyed?!" IIRC in the aforementioned AWS incident Amazon only really started talking when they had an idea of how many EBS volumes were irreparably corrupt.

#133I find it curious no apple rep is here, commenting on this post.
Seriously? This is _Apple_. When the multi-region AWS outage occurred a while back, Amazon was unwilling to talk about what had happened for a week, and they're a rather less secretive company.

#134Interesting, it looks like the WebObjects application(s) has actually been undeployed. I poked around the main developer.apple.com for a bit until I got here: https://developer.apple.com/programs/start/safari/enroll.php... Clicking the "Individual" button on the bottom throws up a WebObjects error: http://i.imgur.com/xcfZ5ip.png (Yes, that's probably the smallest I've ever made my Safari window. You're welcome, mobil…
I'm surprised they're allowing the application servers to respond to public requests while under maintenance.

Why? There's really no reason to think that. Of all of the things that can go wrong - power, equipment, network, etc - you pick 'security breach'... Not impossible.. but not the most likely either.
Power, network, etc. have redundancy. Security breach is a show stopper.
Should have redundancy. You'd expected it to. But mistakes happen. I recall an incident where a data center found out that their two "redundant" incoming utility power feeds were really wired to the same source only when the power failed.

#136The WWDC vids are in an app this year, not on iTunesU. Te an phones home to validate that you are a developer. It too is inaccessible now since dev center is down is down.

"Multi-AZ, not "multi-region" outage. (Big difference.)

#139Right in the middle or renewing the our account. I need to activate the new license and, since I can't, people can't download our app from the store. Talking about fail...
Looks like you are good with apple as they extended your account's renewal date due to the outage.
On another note... This is getting strange now.

Apple teams are much smaller than is often assumed.
OTOH they outsource a lot. From the people I've talked to at vendors "they (Apple) just don't fucking care" is what I've been hearing on this incident, which makes me think it's nothing technically interesting.
Can you expand on what they outsource? Do they outsource any of their development?
