This clearly demonstrates that even companies on the scale of Apple, are not safe from potential attacks and Intrusions. A 16 year old proved just that, by compromising their network several times and obtaining sensitive data thereafter.

Quote:Court documents reveal that a 16-year-old hacker from Australia allegedly broke into tech giant Apple’s computer systems and may have downloaded internal files.

The Age newspaper reports that the teenager’s actions were driven by an admiration for the company, and that the boy stored the stolen files in a folder entitled “hacky hack hack.” The teen reportedly downloaded over 90 gigabytes of data and accessed customer accounts without exposing his identity.

The Australian Federal Police searched the teen’s home last year, the court documents state, which produced two laptops, a mobile phone and a hard drive that matched the intrusion reported by Apple. The reports also reveal that the boy boasted about his activities on the encrypted messaging app, WhatsApp.

To be honest, I have more respect for Apple than Google.

The latter's Information/data collection and tracking, such as (but no where near limited to) websites you visit, Images you've viewed, keywords entered & searched, what you've clicked & watched on YouTube, where you've been when using Google Maps, voice searches stored, ads you've viewed, where you're navigating and Identifying you whilst logged Into your Gmail account (thus "always logout") and so forth Is an Invasion of one's "right" to privacy.
