Some young people who massive intellect have done some incredible things in the world of IT. Among them being Kristoffer von Hassel, a 13 year old who successfully hacked and spotted issues in Microsoft’s security system, making the lid of Microsoft’s Security Techcenter as one who exposed a security vulnerability.
Asides Kristoffer though, there has been other young hackers who have proven their salt from as early as 1999.
Who hacked NASA in 1999?
In 1999, Jonathan James, a 15-year old in Florida hacked both NASA’s computers and the state of Florida’s defence system. He earned himself a permanent spot in the hacker’s hall of fame for pulling that feat.
Few years after that however, another young person broke his record for youngest person to hack NASA.
Walter O’Brien was arrested at the age of 11 for hacking NASA for their blueprint for his bedroom. Having one of the highest IQs in the world (fourth highest recorded, even speculated to be higher than Einstein’s) meant Walter can basically put his mind to and he chose to hack NASA.
