TL;DR

Security researcher Noah Roskin-Frazee and a co-conspirator allegedly defrauded Apple of millions of dollars by exploiting internal tools and placing fraudulent orders for products and services. They used a password reset tool to gain access to an employee account at a company that does customer support for Apple, and then accessed Apple's systems to manipulate orders using the "Toolbox" program. Frazee has been charged with wire fraud, mail fraud, conspiracy to commit wire fraud and mail fraud, conspiracy to commit computer fraud and abuse, and intentional damage to a protected computer, and could face over 20 years in jail if convicted.
