CyFi is the name of a hacker of 10 years and it may be proof that with a little ingenuity you can find serious flaws in programs of great people. The young girl from California, USA, released during the 2011 Defcon details of a flaw that she could find in games that use the clock as the basis of mobile platforms such as Android and iOS.
She said games like Farmville, which is evolving the crops of the players over time, can be deceived with subtle changes of the time. The flaw exploits the fact that some developers forget to put an anti-cheating if the player's resolve to advance the clock. And those who place, implement an easily insurmountable, according to the young hacker.
CyFi said it discovered the flaw in January, why was "bored" but only now decided to release it. And even at the early age, the girl showed a hacker to the conscious state that will not reveal, at least for now, the details that led to the change in progress, to give developers time to patch it.
I think only the last fact, someone should give an award to this girl, which proved to be much smarter than many hacker so on. Even if it is green currency.
