14-year-old caught "hacker" now works for Microsoft

A story that looked more like the plot of a Hollywood movie than the truth happened in Ireland with a 14-year-old teenager who was caught trying to hack the XBox 360 game console. A Dublin schoolboy, a fan of the online game Modern Warfare 2, took some technical action (details, unfortunately unknown) led to the fact that Microsoft General Manager in Ireland Paul Rellis in his speech at the Business Week event in Bank of Ireland openly acknowledged his concern about the possibility that the financial information of the players could be compromised on the. Later, Rellis noted that his unit now works with young talent and helps him use his skills in less destructive areas.

It is curious that the hack attempt was discovered after additional security measures were taken, which are implemented by Microsoft after the sensational story with the Sony PlayStation Network.
