“Apple hasn’t said why it pulled the site, but MacRumors suggested it could be linked to a scheme that lets hackers steals valid serial numbers from existing iOS users.
Hackers could plug an invalid IMEI into Apple’s online tool and change one or two characters until they found a serial number that was functional. That serial number, which belongs to a legitimate Apple device owner, could then be used to unlock a previously bricked iPhone or iPad.
The hack could explain complaints from iPhone 7 owners who found their new devices inexplicably locked to another Apple ID account, according to MacRumors.”
