In an update to its Developer Portal webpage on Wednesday, Apple informed developers of the latest steps it has taken in getting the service up and running after the site was hacked last week.
Update: According to Apple's system status page, Bug Reporter is officially online.
As seen in the above screenshot, Apple updated its developer Web portal landing page with a brief explaining what actions the company has taken to get the service back online. Developers are also receiving emails reflecting the same information.
The update comes nearly one week after Apple said an intruder attempted to glean sensitive user information from the developer website.
Current plans are to roll out updated systems starting with Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles, Apple Developer Forums, Bug Reporter, pre-release developer libraries, and videos. Those services will be followed by software downloads before bringing all systems back online.
In addition, the company has created a special system status webpage to keep developers in the loop when certain systems return to service. Currently, only iTunes Connect is fully operational.
As with previous updates, Apple apologizes to developers for the downtime, assuring them that memberships set to expire during the period will be extended and apps will remain in the App Store.

Great. Get it running already and drop iOS 7 beta 4.
Bug Reporter is back up too. I don't see any changes with it though Edit: Looks like Mikey saw that at the same time and updated the story.
1) Good job Apple. Seems they're working really fast, some are pulling all-nighters here. 2) Strange layout, this page: http://devimages.apple.com
Did you miss the part where Apple wasn't actually hacked?

Looks like we are in for long wait. I wonder if we have to regenerate all our provisioning profiles and certificates.
