China's youngest hacker denies bad intentions
Wang Zhengyang, a grade two student in a junior school affiliated to the prestigious Tsinghua University who is dubbed "the youngest Chinese hacker", prefers to be called a "sneaker" and said that he would not exploit Internet bugs to cause any harm, the Beijing News reported.
The online world recently said that Wang invaded his school's online question-answering system because he didn't want to do homework and he also bought goods worth 2,500 yuan ($408) for only one cent by using the packet capture technology. Wang said he invaded the system to help repair it because it is the only way to find and repair bugs.
"I didn't buy anything, I just changed the price to give people a big discount," Wang said.
He was invited as a speaker at the China Internet Security Conference this month.
