Apple site partially restored

Apple has partially restored its main Web site for developers, more than a week after shuttering it in response to a cyber attack that prompted a harried upgrade to prevent future breaches.

Apple's developer site, which the company uses to communicate with its community of close to six million software developers, was back online on Friday, though some sections, including the forums and the member centre, were still offline.

The company had blocked access to the site after an intrusion last week and it is still not clear what data, if any, was compromised by the attack.

An Apple spokesperson confirmed the company had sent an e-mail to its developer community informing them about the incident.

"Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles, software downloads, and other developer services are now available," Apple said in the e-mail and on a developer update page on the site.

Seven of the 15 services on the Web site, including the iOS, Mac and Safari developer centres, were online on Friday.
