Here's my guess:
Apple is using Akamai's cloud security service called Kona. They (Apple or their Kona team) pushed a bad config up and now that they know it's a bad config they are pushing a fix-- but it takes 45 minutes to replicate out to all the Akamai edge servers.
I think it's Kona because the 403 Access Denied and the Akamai ref number. Also, I use the same service and always live in fear of something like this happening and taking 45 minutes to undo. There is a staging option...

It's hardly rocket science to operate a global network of reverse proxy cache servers, particularly when you only have to do it for your own network (i.e. no customer issues).
