5岁男童发现微软游戏漏洞 获奖4款游戏和50美元

A 5-year-old San Diego boy has outwitted the sharpest minds at Microsoft - he's found a backdoor to the Xbox.

Kristoffer Von Hassel managed to log in to his father's Xbox Live account. When the password log-in screen appeared, Kristoffer simply hit the space button a few times and hit enter.

Robert Davies tells KGTV-TV that just after Christmas he noticed his son playing games he supposedly couldn't access.

Davies, who works in computer security, says he reported the issue to Microsoft, which fixed the bug and recently listed Kristoffer on its website as a "security researcher."

A Microsoft statement says "we take security seriously" and thanks customers for highlighting issues.

It's not the Kristoffer's first triumph. At a year old, he bypassed a cellphone toddler lock by holding down the "home" button.

Notably, the Xbox One was only rolled out to 13 countries in its first phase of roll-out. In March, Microsoft finally announced the next-phase of roll-out. Starting September 2017, 26 new markets will get retail availability of the Xbox One console, including India. For now, pricing details and exact launch dates have not been disclosed.

Making the announcement via a post on the official Xbox blog on Tuesday, Microsoft's Yusuf Mehdi said, "It's time to ensure even more fans around the world can enjoy Xbox One. So today we're proud to share that it will be available in 26 additional markets in September this year. We'll have much more to share at a local level towards the end of April, so stay tuned."

Full list of 26 new countries in September phase of Xbox One global roll-out: Argentina, Belgium, Chile, Colombia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Greece, Hungary, India, Israel, Japan, Korea, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russia , Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Slovakia, South Africa, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, and UAE.

【资讯快讯】

据外媒报道，近日，美国5岁男孩哈斯尔意外发现微软云端游戏平台Xbox Live的安全漏洞，无须输入正确密码便可进入父亲的Xbox Live账户，父亲将这一漏洞报告给了微软。男孩获得微软的正式感并赠送4款游戏，以及为期1年的Xbox Live服务作为礼物。

哈斯尔打算登入父亲的Xbox Live账户时，发现只要先输入错误密码，等到第2次跳出密码认证画面时，一直按空格键填满输入密码的字段，便可登入。

哈斯尔发现漏洞时大喊了一声“耶！”但成功登入后开始紧张，一方面怕爸爸发现，也担心别人利用漏洞窃取数据，于是把事情告诉父亲。

哈斯尔的父亲罗伯特本身是一名计算机安全专家，他将漏洞回报给微软公司。微软接获报告后立即修复漏洞，并将哈斯尔的名字加入感谢专页和安全研究人员名单。
