Greetings everyone,

The thread's title says It all. Have a read of this, It's quite Interesting:

A 10-year-old Finnish kid just became the youngest ever to get a bug bounty from Facebook. Jani, from Helsinki, has surprised family, friends and teachers by demonstrating how he could delete any comment from the Facebook-owned photo-sharing app Instagram – a feat for which he’s been rewarded $10,000.

Kudos to him.

Congrats to that child honestly... Wish i could make 10k like that haha

Could possibly be just header editing. I did the same kind of thing using headers, for a different site.

$10k is a lot of money for what I'd consider a trivial exploit. Perhaps they awarded as much because of his age.

That is a new gaming setup for him, xD

That kid is going to be swimming in Minecraft and PC parts galore when he's paid out.

If only I had 10K as a then year old....
