<reads title>

A 6y.o. girl has hacked a computer in the U.K. containg political documents. If you want to know how she did it, read on.

A reporter (the girl) asked if she could remain unsupervised in someone's Electorate office for 60 seconds. She then snuck in and stuck a hardware keylogger at the back of the politician's computer. Luckily for the girl that she didn't get caught until a few weeks later.

Is that a wonky security gaffe?

Hmm, is there a source for this?

Anyway, it is not too hard to believe. Anyone who has spent a month with a computer can easily have the knowledge to download, copy and paste a file and walk away.

For all we know the girl could have been payed to do it by someone.

What did the girl do with the documents?? I bet someone told her to do it, no way a 6 year old would do that just for the documents.

Not sure if this has been suggested during the investigation, but....


she was asked to that?
maybe threatened so she would talk.

....wtf?

Oh never mind...

I think that's totally plausible, but I don't think it happened. Who leaves a 6 year old girl alone by a computer containing important political documents? Plus, what would a 6 year old girl do with important political documents?

she was asked/forced to do so.

i can force you to go say "blah blah furgle jingle wiggles" to someone at a bar, and for all you know, that was a code/sign to activate a nuclear bomb.

the girl could have been forced or tricked into doing that, even if she didnt know her actions.
she could have been threatened to say certain things too.

Don't know about that, but I do know (reading it from a paper) a 13 year old girl typed
"Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" (from the Mary Poppins movie) on her cell phone and won!

She was forced to do that probably.
Or bribed with candy. Confused
