Apple developers? data at risk after security breach

The iPhone and iPad maker said hackers managed to get into the site developers have been using as Apple trials its new operating system, iOS 7, which is set to launch in the autumn.

?We have not been able to rule out the possibility that some developers? names, mailing addresses, and/or email addresses may have been accessed,? said Apple, although it insisted ?sensitive personal information was encrypted and cannot be accessed?.

Apple added: ?To prevent a security threat like this from happening again, we?re completely overhauling our developer systems, updating our server software, and rebuilding our entire database.? This is the latest blow to chief executive Tim Cook, who has seen Apple?s market value slump 30% in a year following lacklustre sales for iPhone5 and the botched launch of a map app.

Cook unveils quarterly results tomorrow when investors will be eager to know about new devices.
