AVG’s Virus Labs team has discovered evidence that kids as young as 11-year-olds are writing malicious code, often for pranks. Mostly kids writing malware are doing it to show off to their peers, by demonstrating hacking ability. It could be stealing someone’s game logins. This might seem trivial at first, but online gaming accounts are often connected to credit card details to enable in-game purchases, and these may also have virtual currency accounts amounting to hundreds of dollars. AVG have found examples of young children writing malware, including an 11-year-old from Canada. The code usually takes the form of a basic Trojan written using the .NET framework, which is easy to learn for beginners and simple to deploy via a link in an email or posted on a social media page. Watch this TED Talks video by Mitch Resnick, who advocates the benefits of teaching children how to write new technology and coding.
