A 10-year-old Finnish boy named Jani discovered a flaw in Instagram, allowing him to delete comments at will. He informed Facebook of the issue and received $10,000 from the company.
Jani sent Mashable this very real note, detailing a few other flaws he's discovered.
But, I assure you, I am not writing this note merely to express my gratitude. I have discoveredseveral other flaws in the tech I use every day, and I would like to make the world aware of them now. Please pay me $10,000 for each of these.
1. There is a flaw in the Playstation network that allows my mom to turn off the game when it is late
2. Despite Ms. Snyder's best efforts, I have once again gotten AddictingGames.net up on the school library computers
3. There is a fatal flaw in Madden 2016 that does not allow me to create 10-year-old players who defy the odds and win the Offensive Rookie of the Year award
4. There is a vulnerability in Facebook that makes all of the girls I like not like my statuses
5. Whenever my parents tell me to go to my room and play on my iPad they start fighting — I believe signals from the iPad are causing this
6. There is a massive vulnerability in Youtube that is causing my Minecraft gameplay videos to not receive the millions of views they deserve
7. The laser tag place by my house has a flaw in their receptors that allows my older brother Ricky to beat me easily no matter how hard I try
8. After several visits with my family, I have discovered and reported a grievous error in the crossword puzzle located on the Buffalo Wild Wings Kid's Menu
9. I have found a vulnerability in my Little League team's Squarespace page that allowed me to change my batting average to well over .900 for the season
Also, I hacked President Obama's phone but it's just a bunch of boring emails and "launch codes" and nothing about the next Avengers movie so who even cares.
Thank you for your time,
Jani
