As we all know that a hacker is someone who seeks and exploits weaknesses in a computer system or computer network. Hackers may be motivated by a multitude of reasons, such as profit, protest, challenge, enjoyment, or to evaluate those weaknesses to assist in removing them. So, meet the world’s most interesting and dangerous child hackers.



Kristoffer Von Hassel (5 years)

Kristoffer von Hassel is the world’s youngest known hacker and notable for being the youngest “security researcher” listed on tech giant Microsoft’s Security Techcenter as having exposed a security vulnerability. Specifically, Kristoffer was able to bypass the authentication screen of Xbox Live, hence, manage to access games that theoretically could not accessible.

As the BBC and other media reported, that little Kristoffer Von Hassel did not steal any passwords. Just when he appeared to password verification, he pressed the space bar repeatedly and hit ‘Enter’, getting into the account of his father and allowing him to play games and watch videos from YouTube, restricted for their age. In addition, he is considered the youngest hacker in the world and has its own page on Wikipedia .

Reuben Paul (9 years)



9 years, Reuben Paul is already a renowned ethical hacker. Without going any further, he drew the attention of the media world by demonstrating how he was able to steal all data from an Android phone (contacts, call logs and household goods), in just 15 minutes.

Currently, Reuben is the CEO of Prudent Games, the company specializes in developing educational games. As his creations teach children, for example, how to build a truly effective password (Cracker proof) or how an attack works by brute force (Crack Me If You Can). It is also he who hides behind the nickname ‘The Rapstar’ in the famous hacker circles.

As if this were not enough, Reuben is also dedicated to giving lectures around the world.
