13-year-old Pakistani spotting flaws in tech giants
 KARACHI: Ahsan Tahir, 13-year-old self-taught Pakistani ******, is a rising star in the cyber security world, spotting vulnerabilities for big tech companies such as Google and Microsoft.Tahir is an ethical ****** and cyber security consultant from Karachi. He told the NBC News he started learning how to hack a year ago when his personal website was hacked. That was when he realized that there were many companies which offered reward for finding vulnerabilities and bugs in their websites. Bug bounty programs pay the ******s anything from $50 to $350,000, depending on the size of the company and severity of the bug. The young ****** developed his skills through YouTube videos, reading blogs and then experimenting on his own. Casey Ellis, founder and CEO of Bugcrowd, said, “******s like Tahir are literally the next generation of cyber security defenders, and the future of the internet relies on them having an easy on-ramp into security as a career. Digital natives make very good ******s, and the power this group gives to companies trying to safeguard their businesses and users is immense.” Just like other teens, Ahsan goes to school daily but when he comes home, he starts hacking for hours before getting to his homework. He recently bought iPhone 7 with his earnings from bug bounty programs. His parents aren’t techies but they are proud of their bright son. He wants to become a software engineer in future. While Ahsan earns money through identifying vulnerabilities online, his primary goal is to make the internet a safer place. Currently, he is eyeing Microsoft’s bug bounty program, minimum age criteria for which is 14 years. He also wants to teach other people the skills he learned through YouTube and other platforms. أكثر... ??????? ??????: 13-year-old Pakistani spotting flaws in tech giants || ??????: ahlam1399 || ??????: اسم منتداك
