DUMB CRIMINAL OF THE WEEK: HACKY HACK HACK
by Hazed
An Australian fan of Apple was desperate to get a job at the company, so he decided to impress them with his skills by hacking the company’s systems.
The 16-year-old broke into Apple’s servers several times and downloaded about 90GB of stuff.
When Apple found out that their computers had been breached they called in the FBI, who cooperated with Australian law enforcement to trace the intrusion to computers owned by the unnamed teenager.
They seized laptops, a phone and a hard drive that all connected the miscreant to the hack attack. One of the biggest giveaways was finding the data that had been downloaded, saved into a folder labelled “hacky hack hack.”
Rather than landing himself a job at the company, the hacker is likely to end up with a criminal conviction.
