A young Australian found a very inappropriate method to attract the company's attention Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),, all in the hope of being hired by those from Cupertino. More precisely, a few months ago it was revealed that a young Australian hacked an internal Apple network and accessed the company's internal documents, downloading tens of GB of data.
The Australian acted in this way after he found out that a European was hired by those from Apple after hacking its servers, and he wanted the same thing. The problem is that Apple was not as impressed by the actions of the Australian, so they left him in the hands of the authorities, who investigated him, and then sent him to court, and he has now been convicted.
The young man will not go to prison, but will pay a bail of 350 dollars, and will have a trial period of 9 months, all because he was only 13 years old when he started hacking Apple's servers. His young age gave him the courage to act in this way without realizing what would happen, but it is possible that in a few years Apple will be willing to hire him.
The teen hacked Apple and pleaded guilty while admitting that he hoped this would land him a job at the iPhone maker. He'd heard that Apple hired a European who'd done the same thing, and had assumed that a job was waiting for him the moment he was discovered. Clearly, law enforcement had other ideas.
In the meantime, the young Australian will have a lot to learn in terms of IT security, and it is more than certain that he will hack the servers of other companies. Following these actions, he will certainly hide his tracks much better, so if he ever hacks Apple again, he won't let them know that he did everything.
