    I wonder if anyone else may have discovered this before the kid, but kept it to themselves for their dubious reasons.

    5-year-old exposes Xbox One security flaw

    The kid entered some spaces for a password and gets lucky, yet some people think he's some kind of genius? Wow... Just wow.

    Sounds more like he happened to stumble upon a back door that some disgruntled MS employee tried to leave open. I'd really love the see the details behind why the exploit was there in the first place since that sounds completely intentional.

    Lestat, i am sure people know the kid got lucky, I think you may be missing the humour/sarcasm in most of the posts...

    I certainly hope I am... I'm fully aware that sarcasm isn't usually conveyed very well through text, but comments like the one I quoted make me wonder. If it was really sarcasm then a simple emoticon ( 5-year-old exposes Xbox One security flaw :p ), /s mark, or whatever the kids are using these
    days would be helpful to convey their tone.

    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.

    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.
