Best job ever? Aussie teen paid thousands to hack tech giants

Griffin Francis, a 19-year-old from Coffs Harbour on the New South Wales north coast, hasn’t got a full time job but has earned thousands hacking into tech giants Google, Mozilla, Apple, Microsoft and Adobe, then tipping them off about flaws in their security systems.

“I think of what they haven’t done and about finding means to bypass that,” said Mr Francis, who is studying a diploma in information technology.
