He’s a wonder kid with the brain of a real genius! 10-year-old Jani, who is not even old enough to sign up on Facebook, has received $10,000 from Instagram after he impressed its owner, Mark Zuckerberg, by hacking Instagram, the photo-sharing application owned by Facebook.


Young Jani got into Instagram from the backdoor and discovered that he could alter codes on the servers to force delete users’ words. That is, he could delete other people’s comments when he inputted the malicious code into the comment field of the application.

Jani informed Instagram about the technical fault by email, after a few days, Instagram replied. He confirmed that: “I would have been able to eliminate anyone, even Justin Bieber.”
