About month ago, Xbox Live users were alerted to a phishing scam through a popular game called Modern Warfare 2. It seemed like that a lot of people could have been behind this act, but it all came out to be just one person.
This one person was a 14 year-old Irish kid. That is pretty incredible that a kid that young would be able to cause so much trouble over online gaming.
Instead of punishing the kid, Microsoft decided to to work with him to further develop his skills for future legitimate reasons. That's pretty cool for Microsoft to go and do such a thing, but if you think about it, they are just using the kid so they can develop their security and prevent things like this from happening in the future.
Good job kid!
