From Article: One of his friends is a 15 year old hacker who goes by the name of Cosmo; he's the one who discovered the Amazon credit card technique described above. And what are teenage hackers up to these days?

Adapted from the Evil Overlord list[1]: 12. One of my advisors will be a 15-year-old hacker. Any flaws in my computer security that he is able to spot will be corrected before implementation.

These kids should be paid to find and report these security holes, not arrested. They're producing very valuable information in their boredom.
