In 2014, a five-year-old hacked Xbox Live, a five-year-old, yeah, who's what happened?

The family got an Xbox for Christmas. The five-year-old was having fun playing games

and Dad set it up with parental controls. So the kid could only play a few games that were set aside for him.

But the kids, some of the other games that Dad was playing and wanted to play those too,

he tried to get to those other games, but he couldn't. It was locked by Dad.

But the kid didn't stop trying. He understood that there were two different accounts, one for kids and one for Dad.

So he clicked on his Dad's account, which prompted the kid for a password.

The kid didn't know the password. Heck, he was five years old, so he didn't even know how to spell, even if he knew the password.

But when he got to the password screen, the kid just hit spacebar a bunch of times.

Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, then enter. And magically, it worked.

Apparently, there was a vulnerability in the Xbox parental controls that allowed someone to just type in all spaces to get out of the kid's account.

And the kid got into his Dad's games and played them.

And when the kid could play his Dad's games, this is what he said.

I was like, yeah!

He played them. It wasn't very good at it. But then shut them off and went and did something else.

Without his Dad knowing, the little sneaker. And then he did it again another day.

He bypassed parental controls, played the game he wasn't supposed to, and then shut it off before his Dad found out.

But then his Dad noticed someone was playing his games and was like, that's odd.

And so he asked the kid, hey, were you playing my stuff? And the kid started to worry a little.

I got all this. He was gonna find out.

His Dad realized the kid must be breaking out of the parental controls and asked him to demonstrate how he did it.

So the kid showed Dad how you can just mash the space key a whole bunch of times to get to the other games.
