It may come as a surprise to see this famous company on the list of hacked companies. What is even more shocking, however, is who was able to hack through Apple’s famous security- a 16-year-old teenager from Australia, and a self-proclaimed huge Apple fan. The young boy hacked into Apple servers obtaining almost 100 GB of data. The teenager was brought to court, where he stated that the motive behind his crime was his intense admiration for Apple.
