        "content": "<p>A sixth-grade primary school pupil from Boyolali, Central Java,\nIbrahim Al Abrar, has drawn public attention after discovering a broken\nlink hijacking vulnerability on one of the public domains belonging to\nthe United States\u2019 National Aeronautics and Space Administration\n(NASA).<\/p>\n<p>Ibra found the NASA security gap after studying cyber security. He\nreported his discovery through NASA\u2019s Vulnerability Disclosure Policy\n(VDP), and it was successfully verified.<\/p>\n<p>After several submissions, Ibra\u2019s finding was finally verified and he\nreceived a letter of appreciation from NASA as recognition for his\ncontribution to helping improve the security of the agency\u2019s\nsystems.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYesterday he received the NASA certificate because he searched for\nvulnerabilities on NASA\u2019s website. He found broken link hijacking, then\nreported it via the VDP. The report had actually been submitted nearly\ntwo months earlier, but it was only replied to on 9 July, when he\nreceived the certificate,\u201d said Aminudin, Ibra\u2019s father, as quoted by\nDetik on Friday (17\/7).<\/p>\n<p>Ibra is a sixth-grade pupil at SDN 3 Genengsari in Kemusu\nSub-district, Boyolali Regency. He is the second of three children of\nAminuddin Salas and Hannisa Oktaviani.<\/p>\n<p>His father works as a Computer and Network Engineering (TKJ) teacher\nat SMKN Kemusu, while his mother is a housewife.<\/p>\n<p>Aminudin revealed that Ibra\u2019s interest in technology began with his\nlove of playing games. With his parents\u2019 support, Ibra taught himself\ncoding to create games.<\/p>\n<p>Over the past six months, he has delved deeper into cyber security\nthrough YouTube, artificial intelligence (AI), and various online\nlearning resources.<\/p>\n<p>Ibra aspires to become a cyber security professional.<\/p>\n<p>Aminudin hopes the achievement will motivate his son to keep learning\nwhile inspiring other children to use technology to develop their skills\nin information technology and cyber security.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a parent, my hope is that this is still the beginning. I hope he\nbecomes even more motivated after receiving the letter of appreciation\nfrom NASA. Perhaps in the future he could earn a bug bounty, to boost\nhis enthusiasm further. Because if he truly wants to become a cyber\nsecurity professional, this means he is already heading towards that\ncareer,\u201d Aminudin hoped.<\/p>",
