Zero-day flaw in games discovered by 10-year old

Zero-day flaw in games discovered by 10-year old

You are never too young to hack – and that applies to CyFi, the handle for a 10-year-old hacker who graced DefCon 19 by revealing a zero-day exploit in games which are available on both iOS and Android-powered devices, and independent researchers have stepped forward to confirm this as a new class of vulnerability. CyFi looks like an ordinary 10-year old girl from California, but underneath those dark glasses lie a computing brain not to be trifled with. Her claim to fame lay in the discovery of said flaw sometime in January this year because she “started to get bored” with the pace of farm-style games.
