Apple's Developer Center Coming Back Online After 8 Day Outage
It appears that Apple is slowly bringing its Developer Center online after more than a week of outage. Several developers have notified MacRumors that they are now able to enter the site and reports on Twitter confirm that the Developer Center is once again accessible. Earlier this week, Apple outlined a plan for restoring functionality to the site.
According to the new status page, several systems are up and running, including Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles, Software Downloads, Safari Dev Center, iOS Dev Center, and Mac Dev Center. Other areas of the site, including the technical support sections and the forums, are still offline at this time.
Apple has been "working around the clock" on a complete overhaul of its developer systems since the Developer Center was taken down and has noted that developer memberships and apps set to expire during the outage will be given an extension to account for the significant downtime.
While the developer portal looks largely the same, it is likely that sweeping internal changes have been implemented. After news of the security breach, Apple said that it was completely overhauling its developer system, updating server software, and rebuilding its entire database.

Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles Now AvailableApple's Developer Center first went offline last Thursday, and on Sunday, Apple revealed that it had been taken down as a precaution after a security breach. It is unclear who was responsible for the hacking, but a security researcher has suggested that he might be to blame for the outage.
We appreciate your patience as we work to bring our developer services back online. Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles, software downloads, and other developer services are now available. If you would like to know the availability of a particular system, visit our status page.
If your program membership expired or is set to expire during this downtime, it will be extended and your app will remain on the App Store. If you have any other concerns about your account, please contact us.
Thank you for bearing with us while we bring these important systems back online. We will continue to update you on our progress.

Well they've certain lost data. I've lost a handful of devices I registered a week before the incident and several provisioning profiles I created.
I've even lost App IDs I've setup. A bit worrying...

The Organizer in Xcode keeps timing out and won't grab provisioning profiles
I'm also getting a timeout when trying to add the Game Center entitlement to a project. Probably hitting the same server. Maybe that falls under "Xcode Automatic Configuration" (which is still marked down)?

Hopefully there was sarcasm in your post I overlooked, you are a "developer" who made a poor choice to install a beta on his primary phone, or typical user who doesn't know any better.
Lol there was sarcasm. I edited my post almost immediately after posting it and said that I'm not funny.
