Apple has taken iTunes Connect offline following an issue that resulted in developers being logged into random accounts.

Numerous developers have posted screenshots showing access to other users accounts on Twitter. One user appears to have been logged into BlackBerry's official account.

Holy shit every time I hit sign out on iTunes Connect it signs me in as a different random user: pic.twitter.com/l2km2nNRBS

iTunes Connect is having major security issues and showing the wrong apps/accounts to users: https://t.co/xNJ2YIQpWx https://t.co/q0MGUUXAra

And there goes the big illusion of Apple being safer than Microsoft and Google where it comes to our privacy.

All because of one application compared to many and other secured things from Apple? It only changes by 5% and only some users hacked in. How does that make competition any better?

Windows is hacked more times because it has a larger implementation and it's target much more often. BUT, I've never seen a Microsoft service logging people into other accounts...

Thank you for so briefly and clearly clarifying what I meant to say in the first place.
