14 Year Old Hacker Recruited By Microsoft by iz2much: 9:28pm On Jul 02, 2011
George Hotz 18 years old, and a 14 year old (Irish boy)
George Hotz hacked on Sony’s Play station, and the 14 years old hacked on Microsoft’s Call of Duty.
George Hotz was taken to court, and the 14 years old was just recruited by Microsoft.


Microsoft is reported to be working with the 14-year-old Irish hacker who managed to stir up a little trouble with his Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 phishing scam alert. According to the managing director of Microsoft of Ireland, the company is helping the hacker “develop his talent for legitimate purposes.”

I don't think those boys are as good as the hacking made them look. On a general ground the weapons used were other people softwares. Microsoft is just going to use those boys in getting their gain, on how they succeeded in the processes and they might not acheive anything speacial with them.

True talk.
Hackers hate it when people use already made softwares because they know what they have gone through.
