A 10-year-old boy Finnish boy named Jani has been given $10,000 (?7,000) after he found a security flaw in image-sharing social network Instagram.

一个名为约翰尼10岁芬兰小男孩发现图片分享社交网络平台Tnstagram的安全漏洞后，获得了1万美元奖金。

The boy, who technically is not allowed to even join the site for another three years, discovered a bug that allowed him to delete comments made by other users.

从技术上来说在三年内都不允许加入该网站的，然而这名男孩发现了网站的漏洞，并以此进入网站删除其他用户的评论。

The issue was "quickly" fixed after being discovered, said Facebook, which owns Instagram.

这个问题被发现后“迅速”地修复了，Instagram的所有者脸书称。

Jani was paid soon after - making him the youngest ever recipient of the firm’s "bug bounty" prize.

约翰尼很快被授予奖金——他成为该公司“错误赏金”奖有史以来最年轻的获得者。

After discovering the flaw in February, he emailed Facebook.

在二月份发现该漏洞后，他发电子邮件给脸书。

Security engineers at the company set up a test account for Jani to prove his theory - which he did.

The boy, from Helsinki, told Finnish newspaper Iltalehti he planned to use the money to buy a new bike, football equipment and computers for his brothers.

这个来自赫尔辛基的男孩告诉芬兰报纸《Iltalehti》，他计划用这笔钱购买一辆新自行车，足球设备和给他弟弟买一台计算机。

Facebook told the BBC it had paid $4.3m to bug bounty recipients since 2011.

脸书告诉BBC，自2011年以来，已支付了430万美元给“错误赏金”获奖者。

Many companies offer a financial incentive for security professionals - and young children, evidently - to share flaws with the company, rather than selling them on the black market.

许多公司对安全专业人士提供财政激励——而事实证明，年轻的孩子——与公司分享这些缺陷，而不是把它们卖到黑市上。
