SECURITY NEVER SEEMS TO BE SUCH A BIG PRIORITY: Child finds flaws in mobile games.
A novel class of security problems have been found lurking in many mobile games by a ten-year old hacker.
Going by the handle CyFi, the hacker presented her findings at the DefCon hacker conference held in Las Vegas.
She found that advancing the clock on a tablet or phone can, in many games, open a loophole that can be exploited.
CyFi discovered the bug after getting bored with the pace of farming games and seeking ways to speed them up.
Good grief. Now give that girl a scholarship.
