Anybody else get scared shitless reading the title? I saw it a few times online before reading the article, thinking "oh crap, 10 year olds are beating me. I'm screwed, I'll never make it big time with competition like that".

Then I read the article and found what the "zero day" was :|

Zero day? Really? Come on.

Yeah, that's ridiculous, and it's not even a zero day. People have been altering the timing of time dependent games for a long time.

I am gonna be honest, reading that title scared me, but then I read it, and I breathed a sigh of relief. Who the hell makes the title? I want to hurt them. That is not a 0 day, that is something people have been doing for ages.

What she found is not that huge and ofc not a 0day since everybody thought about this before her. But I think its still pretty nice that she found that with her age. Will be interesting if she continue her "hacking" career :D.
