HACKED APPLE DEVELOPER: IBRAHIM BALIC

Whats The Buzz ??...

A claim has been made by white hat hacker Ibrahim Balic of finding 13 bugs in Apple's software and having hacked the website and has access to 100k developer's private details.
Ibrahim has given out a statement and a video detailing the breaches.The video has been made private now,as he claims on Twitter that he just wanted to show that he had penetrated Apple's security,but showed confidential information.

@ibrahimBALIC-" the video is now removed from youtube, i appoligise for sharing some of the confidential information, i had to, to proof the blames wrong "



Balic says he informed Apple of the bugs via the bug reporting page but recieved no answer.Four hours after his last post Apple has shut down the developer website.
He has now sent an email-

"4 hours later from my final report Apple developer portal gas closed down and you know it still is. I have emailed and asked if I am putting them in any difficulty so that I can give a break to my research. I have not gotten any respond to this… I have been waiting since then for them to contact me, and today I’m reading news saying that they have been attacked and hacked. In some of the media news I watch/read that whether legal authorities were involved in its investigation of the hack. I’m not feeling very happy with what I read and a bit irritated, as I did not done this research to harm or damage. I didn’t attempt to publish or have not shared this situation with anybody else. My aim was to report bugs and collect the datas for the porpoise of seeing how deep I can go within this scope. I have over 100.000+ users details and Apple is informed about this. I didn’t attempt to get the datas first and report then, instead I have reported first."


Now what ??...

Well,he is hoping that this all will be over soon without any damage caused to anyone.According to him his intentions were just to alert Apple.
Is he right or wrong?.Well considering he has 100k user details, there is no exact answer,but he sure has got himself into a major scene.
He has Tweeted-

" thank you for all crtiques and supports hope everyone understood my intention and that this event will be over without anydamage 2 anyone :( "
