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,在一个名为贾尼的10岁芬兰小男孩发现图片分享社交网络平台Instagram的安全漏洞后,他获得了1万美元的奖金。
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.
严格说来,这个男孩即使在三年之后也是不被允许注册该网站的,但是他却发现了该网站允许任何人随意删除其他用户评论的漏洞。
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的所有者在脸书表示,这个问题在被发现后“迅速”得到了修复。不久之后,贾尼就被授予了奖金,这也使得他成为该公司的“漏洞悬赏”项目创办以来最年轻的获得者。
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.
在二月份发现该漏洞后,他就给脸书方面发送了电子邮件。之后,该公司的安全工程师为贾尼建立了一个测试账户去证明他的理论,而他最终真的做到了。
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.
这个来自赫尔辛基的男孩接受芬兰报纸《Iltalehti》采访时表示,他打算用这笔钱购买一辆新自行车、新的足球装备以及一台买给他弟弟的计算机。
