@vasa1, with a subject of "Pinkie Pie wins $60,000" I nearly reported this thread as spam. ](*,)

Um, yea, and the link makes it more confusing. Vasa1, perhaps you intended the link below because I had to squint to find the link to this page you are talking about on the link you provided when checking the legitimacy of this thread:

http://techcrunch.com/2012/10/10/teenage-hacker-scores-60000-from-google-for-discovering-security-issue-in-chrome-again/

Using that might make things clearer ... ;)

Well, I purposely linked to the release page because that's official. Many tech sites have the story.

There've been two really awesome researchers who have discovered vulnerabilities and gotten pretty rich as a result. Pinkie Pie is one and Sergey Glazunov is the other. Of course, there are others but these two are tops.

@Paul, I've changed the title in the original post but I don't see a way for me to change it in the thread title.
