16 year old hacked into Apple's servers and took90GBs of files. This is an old story on the hacking as it refers to the release of older iOS source code files stolen and released last year. It's only being released now that the hacker who did it was a sixteen year old Australian boy who did it because he wanted to work for Apple. That last part WAS revealed as the hacker's motive last year. One notable thing revealed in this BGR article is "He also had access to authorized keys, the kind that grant log-in access to users and should be extremely secure." This means what he did was NOT A HACK. I suspect he stole the name and password of an Apple Administrator who had the authority to access the servers, most likely a close relative, as those passwords are changed frequently and it says he had access for more than a year, so he knew where this administrator wrote down the new passwords. This just makes him a sneak thief. —PING!
