12 year old boy discovers flaw in Firefox and earns U.S. $ 3,000

What was your greatest achievement when you were 12? Alex Miller was difficult to discover a security flaw in Firefox and earn $ 3,000 with it.

The reward was part of a security challenge from developers, made by the Mozilla Foundation. If you find a fault, earned $ 3,000 in prizes.

Miller, who lives in San Jose, Calif., spent about 90 minutes a day looking for faults. After ten days of searching, he found one, and reported to Mozilla. Brilliant!
