			  10-year old for finds Instagram flaw, Facebook pays him $10,000
By typing in malicious code, high-level bug erases comments 
On Wednesday, social media giant Facebook took a humble bow to a 10-year old Finnish lad’s code-altering skills and paid him $10,000 for discovering a high-risk flaw in its Instagram API. The bug allowed any Instagram commenter to type malicious code into the comment section of any status update and effectively delete anyone’s comments from a post.
