"10-year-old hacker finds zero-day flaw in games"

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.

Imagine, and Create.
Without creation, imagination stays just that, an imagination, a thought, a dream, loose in your mind.
Without imagination, creation lacks vision, planning, and determination.
One without the other is worthless, but together, invaluable.

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.
