[kictanet] Fwd: Apple Developer Website Update

[Adam Nelson]

I sincerely doubt that if a local site was hacked and their database was
accessed, that they would notify their userbase about it.  Is there a law
that compels them to do that in Kenya (like the California user data laws
that require this type of notification)?
