Not to mention, it must be humiliating for HBGary to be thought of the world as hackable by a 16 year-old girl.
- jrockway 16y agoWhy? Kids are smart and have time. 16 is not that young. I knew how to do SQL injection and buffer overflow exploitation at that age, although I also knew not to use those skills against someone who didn't ask for it. Basically, everyone is excited because she's a girl.
- chc 16y agoAs one or two articles have pointed out, that kind of skill is generally lacking in girls in our culture. So it is somewhat noteworthy, I guess.
