Talk about pocket money!

关于零用钱

A 10-year old boy has just become the youngest person ever to receive a       reward from Facebook after he uncovered a bug on its Instagram platform. (And he's not even old enough to have his own account, according to Instagram's minimum age policy.)

一个10岁的小男孩成为有史以来最年轻的Facebook奖励获得者，在他发现了Instagram平台的漏洞后。(受Instagram的最小年龄政策限制，他还没有属于自己的账户。)

Facebook (FB, Tech30) gave the boy $10,000 after he told the company about a flaw that allowed him to delete other people's comments.

Facebook给了这个男孩1万美元作为奖励，在他向Facebook公司反馈了Instagram应用存在的一个缺陷：他可以随意删除别人的评论。

The boy reportedly told Finnish newspaper Iltalehti that he could have even deleted comments from Justin Bieber. Named only as "Jani", the boy from Helsinki, Finland, plans to spend his money on a bike and a soccer ball, the newspaper reported.

这个男孩告诉芬兰《晚报》(Finnish newspaper Iltalehti) ，他甚至能删除Justin Bieber的评论。男孩名字叫“Jani”，来自芬兰首都赫尔辛基(Hesinki)，他计划把这笔钱用来买自行车和足球。

Facebook, which bought Instagram in 2012, said the bug was fixed in late February. Jani received his payment in March.

Facebook在2012年收购了Instagram，据Facebook透露，安全漏洞在二月底被修 复，Jani在三月就拿到了奖金。

Facebook has been running its "bug bounty program" since 2011, rewarding hackers when they report tech and security problems.

Facebook从2011年就开始运行“漏洞奖励程序”，专门用于奖励那些反馈技术和安全问题的黑客。

The program has paid out more than $4.3 million to over 800 people around the world. The size of the reward varies depending on the issue.

这个程序已向全球800多位获奖者支付了超过430万美元的奖金。奖金的数目大小取决于问题的严重程度。

It is not uncommon for teenagers to submit reports to the program, a Facebook spokesperson told CNNMoney.

Facebook的发言人告诉CNNMoney，很少有青少年向该程序提交报告，这很不寻常。

Many tech companies offer similar programs to hackers who report cybersecurity vulnerabilities.

许多技术公司都会提供类似的程序给黑客，让他们检测并反馈一些网络安全隐患。
