    This is a rather weird story to read, but an interesting one nonetheless. Kirstoffer Von Hassel from San Diego in the US worked out how to log in to his father’s Xbox Live account without the correct password. Sounds like a serious security flaw, right?
    Microsoft has since fixed the issue and added Von Hassel to its list of recognized security researchers. A five-year old. Expectedly, Von Hassel is both excited and grateful Microsoft took the time to acknowledge his contribution, as well as sending some free titles to use on the video game system.
