Apple, which is known for its high level of protection, has been hacked by a high school student who has managed to steal 90 GB protected files and access user accounts, storing them in a folder called hacky hack hack.
Apple servers are not hackable, but a 16-year-old student from Australia has proved to be untrue. The boy was able to manipulate Apple servers for a year and steal up to 90GB of secure files.
The boy's lawyer said he had hacked Apple to love the company and that he was one of its fans. He used VPN to hide his identity and had access to authorized keys that allowed him to access user logins.
When Apple caught multiple incidents of unauthorized access, she reported these incidents to the FBI, which tracked the source of the infiltrations to Australia and asked the Australian government to participate in the case. The Australian authorities were able to obtain a warrant to search the boy's house for evidence of infiltration activities.
The prosecutor said at the hearing that the police had found two MacBooks with serial numbers that matched the devices that had access to Apple's servers. They also found a hard drive and a mobile phone that also had an IP address identical to the security breaches.
