Teen Tech‑Whiz Gets a Reality Check
Picture this: a 16‑year‑old from Melbourne pulls the plug on one of the biggest tech companies in the world. That’s right—he hacked the mainframe of Apple, scooped up a whopping 90 GB of jam‑packed files, and even poked into customer accounts—all while staying hidden like a digital ninja.
How the Operation Took Place
- Long‑haul infiltration – Over a year, he repeatedly breached Apple’s U.S. headquarters from his suburban Aussie pad.
- Massive data grab – 90 GB of confidential files went straight into his clutches, stored in a folder dubbed “hacky hack hack.”
- No trace left behind – He even avoided getting his identity caught.
When Apple Knew Something Was Off
Apple didn’t sit idle. Once they caught wind of the breach, they reached out to the U.S. FBI, who in turn handed the case over to the Australian Federal Police (AFP). But the AFP kept mum, saying the case was already in court.
What Came Out of the Raid
- Two laptops, a phone, and a hard drive—all matching the incriminating evidence.
- Documents stored in that infamous “hacky hack hack” folder.
Soft Post‑Video Confessions
The boy even bragged about his exploits on WhatsApp, but because he’s a juvenile, his name stays locked in the shadows.
What’s Next?
He’s set to hit the judges’ bench next month. Will he get a light sentence or a tough reminder that hacking isn’t a fandom thing? Time will tell.
