Ten-year-old receives $10,000 reward for finding Instagram bug

A Finnish boy is the youngest person to get payout for finding bug that allowed comments to be deleted - and says he'll use the money to buy a football and bike

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg didn't even begin to learn programming until he got a tutor at 11 years old - so he may have met his match in a 10-year-old Finnish schoolboy who has received a $10,000 bounty from Facebook after finding a vulnerability in Instagram's code.

Instagram, which was bought by Facebook in 2012 for $1bn, is part of the Facebook "bug bounty" program, created in 2011, under which people who spot chinks in Facebook's digital armour are given a reward.
