In the raid, police confiscated two laptops, a mobile phone, and a hard drive with a folder named hacky hack hack in which the stolen documents were stored.
According to reports, the teen, who said he admired Apple and hoped to find work there, has pleaded guilty to charges related to the hacking and will be sentenced on Sept. 20.
