This story dates back to the time when he was a die-hard fan of Apple. At the age of 13, he dreamed of landing a job in the tech giant. And then to his delight, he got news of a person hacking the servers of the company. What amused him the most was the fact that the person was awarded a job in Apple.

At that moment, he thought that he had discovered the way to live his dream. He warmed up his mind with a plan to hack into its servers without thinking about its virulent repercussions. With the help of another teen, who was 16 years old at that time, he hit hard on the giant’s mainframe and downloaded the internal documents of the company. He achieved his objective by shaping up false credentials to sneak into the mainstream servers of the giant.

Thankfully, Apple did not suffer a financial scar from this intrepid spree. This hacking story was eventually reported to FBI which later colluded with Australian Federal Police to hit a trick on the teens. As claimed by Gizmodo Australia, police seized 90 GB files from their “hacky hack hack” folder. After inspecting each and every page of it, the police took them in their custody.

Finally, they were punished but managed to escape the jail term. The boy has been awarded a nine-month-old good behavior bond for the entire ruckus created by him. His accomplice was too found guilty and awarded an eight-month-old good behavior bond in 2018. This has exposed the approaching and mushrooming menace in society and technical world.

The juggernaut of hacking heists is riding at a precarious speed across the globe. It is threatening the security system and unraveling the threads of the customer-business entity trust fiber. The kids and others blessed with exceptional intelligence level need to take charge of their mental power in order to usher it in the right direction. Also, society is too bestowed with the onus to mould the talent of prodigies in such a way so as to unlock the untapped opportunities in human civilization.

The teenage kids and budding souls should be given a dose of enlightenment before letting them embark on the technological way. In educational institutions too, ethics and values should be imbibed through appropriate teaching techniques and methods. Whether technology is a boon or bane, the answer lies within our souls.
