10歲天才少年發現Instagram漏洞 獲臉書萬元獎勵

A 10-year-old boy Finnish boy named Jani has been given $10,000 after he found a security flaw in image-sharing social network Instagram.

日前，在一個名爲賈尼的10歲芬蘭小男孩發現圖片分享社交網絡平臺Instagram的安全漏洞後，他獲得了1萬美元的獎金。

The boy, who technically is not allowed to even join the site for another three years, discovered a bug that allowed him to delete comments made by other users.

嚴格說來，這個男孩即使在三年之後也是不被允許註冊該網站的，但是他卻發現了該網站允許任何人隨意刪除其他用戶評論的漏洞。

The issue was "quickly" fixed after being discovered, said Facebook, which owns Instagram. Jani was paid soon after - making him the youngest ever recipient of the firm's "bug bounty" prize.

Instagram的所有者在臉書表示，這個問題在被發現後“迅速”得到了修復。不久之後，賈尼就被授予了獎金，這也使得他成爲該公司的“漏洞懸賞”項目創辦以來最年輕的獲得者。

After discovering the flaw in February, he emailed Facebook. Security engineers at the company set up a test account for Jani to prove his theory - which he did.

在二月份發現該漏洞後，他就給臉書方面發送了電子郵件。之後，該公司的安全工程師爲賈尼建立了一個測試賬戶去證明他的理論，而他最終真的做到了。

The boy, from Helsinki, told Finnish newspaper Iltalehti he planned to use the money to buy a new bike, football equipment and computers for his brothers.

這個來自赫爾辛基的男孩接受芬蘭報紙《Iltalehti》採訪時表示，他打算用這筆錢購買一輛新自行車、新的足球裝備以及一臺買給他弟弟的計算機。

Facebook told the BBC it had paid $4.3m to bug bounty recipients since 2011.

臉書方面告訴BBC稱，自2011年以來，該公司已支付了430萬美元給“漏洞懸賞”的受領者。
