AT&T Sponsors Zero-Day Hacking Contest For Kids 43
yahoi writes "AT&T has teamed up with an 11-year-old hacker and DefCon Kids to host a hacking contest during the second annual conference that runs in conjunction with the adult Def Con hacker show later this month in Las Vegas. The kid who finds the most zero-day bugs in mobile apps wins $1,000 and an IPad, courtesy of DefCon Kids. The contest was inspired by the mini-hacker's discovery last year of a whole new class of mobile app vulnerabilities."

What would you give the mini-hacker?
A car? A house? A pony?
Clearly you give them "1337" merit badges. All the other kids get "p0wned" written in Sharpie on their foreheads.
