Nicholas Allegra lives with his parents in Chappaqua, N.Y. While most teens who also spend most or all their free time on computers – and live at home with their parents -- what's different about this "tall, shaggy-haired, bespectacled 19-year-old," is he's a genius at "hacking," states the Aug. 22 edition of Forbes magazine. Allegra, who is now on "leave" from Brown University, "spends his days on a hobby that periodically stuns the computer security world: seeking out cracks in the source code of Apple's iPhone, a device with more software restrictions than practically any computer on the market, and utterly obliterating its defenses against hackers."
