Media News | Teenager Hacks Google (Again)


  • A teenager by the name Pinkie Pie hacked Google's browser - Chrome - for the second time
  • They won $60,000
  • Google offered money if anyone could find security problems with its products
  • Google fixed it 10 hours after the bug was found
  • This competition took place on Tuesday at a conference called Hack in the Box in Malaysia
  • Facebook also has a program offering at least $500 to spot holes in its systems
This shows that there are always risks with the internet concerning security or bugs and I think that for the internet to continue to grow - it will need to minimise it's threats as much as possible.
