    5 year old gets thanked by Microsoft for security flaw

    You can always count on Microsoft to do the right thing - after they've tried everything else.

    The kid pressed the spacebar a few times and gained access to his fathers account. The father reported this to MS, family gets free games and kid gets a shout out.

    Not surprised at all that they rewarded the kid. I remember they offered the kid that made the blaster worm a job.

    What I find so cute about this story is how Microsoft credited him as a security researcher.

    It's a nice compliment to the boy and I had to LOL at the 5 year old > Microsoft Security post. Either way, I am sure as hell glad they fixed it before it became a known issue.

    He will definitely have MS thanks for a long time to come. That could of been a major disaster had this not have been discovered by someone so young.

    I hate to be a downer but he didn't really do anything that smart, he just tried to brute force the password and got lucky.
