Apple says customers do not have to be concerned after the latest computer hacking.

A 16-year-old Australian broke into their mainframe but says he only did it because he wants a job with the company.

He downloaded around 90 gigabytes of files reportedly saving them in a folder named "hacky hack hack".

Tech expert Jess Kelly says it raises some interesting questions about Apple's security and the idea of ethical hacking:

"You know hacking to prove to show holes in secure systems, it doesn't seem like his agenda was to access customer information or steal credit card information. If he had the wrong agenda he could have done that which would be cause for concern a company like Apple all we can do is really trust them when they say we don't have to worry."
