A 10-year-old boy Finnish boy named Jani has been given $10,000 (?7,000) after he found a security flaw in image-sharing social network Instagram.

一個名為約翰尼10歲芬蘭小男孩發現圖片分享社交網絡平臺Tnstagram的安全漏洞后，獲得了1萬美元獎金。

The boy, who technically is not allowed to even join the site for another three years, discovered a bug that allowed him to delete comments made by other users.

從技術上來說在三年內都不允許加入該網站的，然而這名男孩發現了網站的漏洞，并以此進入網站刪除其他用戶的評論。

The issue was "quickly" fixed after being discovered, said Facebook, which owns Instagram.

這個問題被發現后“迅速”地修復了，Instagram的所有者臉書稱。

Jani was paid soon after - making him the youngest ever recipient of the firm’s "bug bounty" prize.

約翰尼很快被授予獎金——他成為該公司“錯誤賞金”獎有史以來最年輕的獲得者。

After discovering the flaw in February, he emailed Facebook.

在二月份發現該漏洞后，他發電子郵件給臉書。

Security engineers at the company set up a test account for Jani to prove his theory - which he did.

該公司的安全工程師為約翰尼建立了一個測試賬戶去證明他的理論——而他做到了。

The boy, from Helsinki, told Finnish newspaper Iltalehti he planned to use the money to buy a new bike, football equipment and computers for his brothers.

這個來自赫爾辛基的男孩告訴芬蘭報紙《Iltalehti》，他計劃用這筆錢購買一輛新自行車，足球設備和給他弟弟買一臺計算機。

Facebook told the BBC it had paid $4.3m to bug bounty recipients since 2011.

臉書告訴BBC，自2011年以來，已支付了430萬美元給“錯誤賞金”獲獎者。

Many companies offer a financial incentive for security professionals - and young children, evidently - to share flaws with the company, rather than selling them on the black market.

許多公司對安全專業人士提供財政激勵——而事實證明，年輕的孩子——與公司分享這些缺陷，而不是把它們賣到黑市上。
