Pinkie Pie the Hacker!

No, its not what some of you may be thinking. This is not a post on Pinkie Pie from My Little Pony. This a post about a teenage hacker who goes by Pinkie Pie and recently got paid $60,000 to hack into Google Chrome.  I spotted this picture on Reddit when I searched for Pinkie Pie the Hacker.  The article, however, comes from TechCrunch, one of my favorite sources of tech info.  Pinkie Pie the hacker was awarded $60,000 in prize money from Google for producing the first Chrome vulnerability hack at the Hack in the Box conference.  The teenager goes by the name Pinkie Pie because his "employer" doesn't authorize such activity. I personally think they are talking about his parents or his school when referring to his "employer."
