Shocking: Instagram Hacked By A 10 Year Old Kid, Paid $10,000 By Facebook by kasysleek(m): 8:38pm On May 04, 2016
Hmmmm, this isn't going to sound well to instagram users but I"ll spill it anyway.

Instagram was reported hack by a 10 year old kid by the name Jani (Last name withheld for privacy) from Finland.

Who is probably the youngest white hacker.
According to reports Jani found an exploit in Instagram that allows him to delete any comment the chose.

Can you imagine, kid of nowadays

To confirmed the vulnerability to Facebook the kid deleted a comment the company made on a instagram test page.

He was able to hack one of the biggest social media platform with the skills he developed/learn from watching Youtube videos

In return Jani received a cash reward of whooping $10,000 by Facebook Bug bounty program, a program that offers cash reward to anyone who is able to report and verify vulnerability.

Jani plans on using the money to buy football equipments and a new Bicycle.

If a 10year old can do this, I wonder what the older and more experience hacker a capable of. shocked

What do you think of this brilliant 10 year old?
