14 Year Old Hacker Hired By Microsoft After Doing Phishing via Call of Duty Server


These are the kinds of things dreams are made of, a 14 year old hacker on Call of Duty was just recruited by Microsoft. You heard me right, Microsoft.
This is exactly what Sony should have done with George Hotz – given him a job as a security specialist, instead of sueing him in court and getting its PlayStation Network and other Sony websites hacked day in and out.
Microsoft is reported to be working with the 14-year-old Irish hacker who managed to stir up a little trouble with his Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 phishing scam alert. According to the managing director of Microsoft of Ireland, the company is helping the hacker “develop his talent for legitimate purposes.”

Congrats to that young hacker, whose name was not disclosed.While the new prospect for the Dublin kid is not meant to be an example for other hackers to follow, companies do have to realize that there are many talented people among hackers.
Gud luck
