Kids hack the darndest things…
OSX HACKED BY 4 MONTH OLD BABY
Today, Jason Sefton of Sioux Falls, North Dakota has done what few people have accomplished; he has exposed security vulnerabilities in OSX 10.5. Unfortunately without the ability to speak, we may never know the method he used. A software engineer who would like to remain anonymous hypostasized, “There have been many vulnerabilities to Safari discovered in the past that he could have exploited. It is his duty as a professional to communicate these to Apple as soon as he is able.†In an attempt to interview the boy, he began mumbling, perhaps something about SSH. He then farted and began to cry.
His mother describes the circumstances: “I had just given him a bottle, and needed to start dinner, so I laid him in front of my macbook and played some old Muppet Show clips for him. When I came back, the screen was black and it would not reboot. He must have put some crazy super mac virus on it. Oh, and they keyboard was very wet and sticky too. “
Update: Jason has been offered a security analyst position with McAfee and an associate professorship with the University of Phoenix.
I wonder if I could get him to break my iPod Touch?
