No because I believe gmail has been hacked before. Still 90GB of data is a hell of a lot of nothing... think we need more reports from the court case other then one newspaper, also I would trust the lawyers and attorneys with the evidence they are presenting a hell of a lot more then anything Apple says, because they have to provide the factual truth.
Got a tip for us?

You realize again, the iCloud celebrity photo issue was NOT Apples fault. It was a phish issue that an attacker sent an email from a gmail enail, and got the login credentials that way? Apple was not hacked.
We get it. You can stop saying the same thing over and over (though, at this progression, I suppose your next post will simply be "A", followed by nothingness). You're trying very hard to make it sound like this was an infant that got into Apple by pushing around blocks. You know that is not the case. Or you should. A 14 year old can be quite brilliant.
Your barking up the wrong tree, check his post history, he has been corrected many times he just doesn’t care and keeps on reposting posting the same false information.
Oxford definition states otherwise:
http://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/hacking
- The gaining of unauthorized access to data in a system or computer.
‘outlawing hacking has not stopped it’
Ok? I was asking how the celebrity iCloud was Apples fault. I never said anything about the definition of the word hack. I actually said in other posts in the thread saying hacking is any unauthorized accesss.
Ah I see, well I do believe at the time they had two factor authentication on iCloud so... if it was turned on by those celebs....
The largest full iOS update size has been less than 3GB. 90GB is the size of large companies' Oracle database.

What I always find amazing that these massive corporation have infrastructure that can be hacked by a child.
That tells us few things. However, considering how Apple is proud of their privacy stands it begs the question how secure things really are.
Regardless of this kid's talent, a child got in. What would a professional group of hackers with proper resources etc. be able to do if a kid from home can get in?
I always viewed hacking as an achievement and I don't buy in the analogy of a bank because in order to get inside a bank you actually have to damage something. Unlike virtual hacks where nothing gets really damaged.
The other thing is a theft and in that part I would compare the bank to hack as very similar. Ie. you steal money is the same as stealing IP. I don't see having a virtual tour as that bad as they make it. Sure there should be a punishment but it shouldn't be too restrictive. I guess if there was no theft from the hack then a fine + probation should be enough. Jail time is excessive.
If IP was stolen then we can talk about jail time.
Anyway, its impressive that he got in.

Not even close. I have redo logs bigger than that, and we're not a large company.
Not exactly sure what they're referring to here. They could get MAC addresses from 802.3 headers, http user strings, etc. from the network traffic.
How would they get the MAC address from the headers? Those change across each hop in the path.
A lot of blanks to fill in. What did he steal, how many times did he get in? If Apple has bait on their systems to use as a way to detect and prosecute, would they even say that’s something they do?
Yeah, you almost wonder if that was a line to try to reduce his punishment. I mean, why constantly hack your dream company? A better thing would have been to notify them of a vulnerability, not keep going back to the well. If this claim is a lie, then can we verify the 90GB claim? Is that evidence sealed due to him being a minor?
Why does it have to be tracking? If you are an iCloud subscriber, Apple can have hundreds of GB “about you” stored on their servers.

Going by michys logic that’s the end of google and android.
I would give him a job, imagine what he might know and since its his dream to work there, we should try to mold that into something productive.
As George Benson/Whitney Houston said - I believe the children are our future, teach them well and let them lead the way, show them all the beauty (hacking talent) they possess inside.

IPv4 doesn't route mac address over the internet so the furthest mac address you'll see is your internet router's mac address. And, MacOS since Sierra 10.12 from 2016 uses IPv6 privacy extensions to randomize the mac address encoded into IPv6 address.
Inquiring minds want to know how Apple are tracking its customers.

Lol just search up Frank Abagnale, who do you think runs the world man? Just saying.
Quick the police are coming, place the files where no one will ever know..... I got it!!! “Hacky hack hack”.... (insert evil laugh) #facepalm
More false news. Once they get their monthly-paid rental apps off the ground, Apple will launch a free app, you'll get a free piece of false Apple news on your device every morning, only after the first paragraph you'll have to pay to see the rest. Once a week you'll get a free article about gays being repressed.
I haven't seen how the attack was performed. If it was via an Apple service, such as iCloud backup or authorization server, it's quite possible the serial number is passed along to avoid activating or patching stolen equipment.
