If you know anything about Apple, you know that the world’s first trillion dollar company prides itself on being virtually un-hackable. Well, last week there was a little hiccup for the normally tight security in Cupertino. More accurately, the embarrassing hack came from Down Under, and at the hands of a 16-year old high school student nonetheless. Insert Tim Cooke facepalm here. After a tip from Apple, Australian authorities raided the house of the kid hacker and found, among other tools, a hard drive labeled “Hacky Hack Hack.” Yeah, pretty sure that’s the one they were looking for. Needless to say, the teen is due in juvenile court next week and Apple is due for a serious review of its security protocol. Oh, and don’t worry about the teen hacker. We’re pretty sure he’ll get a killer job offer either from his nemesis or another tech giant.
