14-Year-Old Genius Hacker Recruited by Microsoft Now Receiving Formal Training

Last month, the popular online game on Xbox Live, "Modern Warfare 2," experienced a phishing attack, and Microsoft officially issued a warning to remind users to be vigilant against scams. Surprisingly, it has now been confirmed that the series of attacks were carried out by just one person, who is currently cooperating with Microsoft.

According to Paul Rellis, a senior executive at Microsoft Ireland, the 14-year-old Irish hacker who previously attacked Xbox Live has been identified by the police. However, after negotiations, the police decided not to punish the child for the time being. Instead, he will receive formal training from Microsoft to reform and later "put his talents to good use."

So everyone, if one day a hacker with an Irish accent does something remarkable, don't forget to thank the great Microsoft.
