App-store developer account takeover is an access story before it is a brand story.

A rival pushes a malware update under a stolen Apple developer login. Headlines scream brand damage. The first legal spine is still unauthorised access and control of the publishing credential — who logged in, from where, with what recovery trail, and when Apple was notified. Reputation follows. If you start with PR language and skip the access chronology, you argue the scar before you prove the wound.

Brand headlines later.

Access facts first.
