Recently, Ngoc Chanh with the nickname Killer with a Vietnamese hacker was honored by Google at the Hall of Fame, a ranking of experts who have contributed greatly in finding and uncovering security gaps of the technology giant. .

Killer is currently a full-time developer at a software company in Hanoi and also a member of the J2TEAM community. Killer reported and successfully demonstrated a security bug in Google Translate, a Google service that has more than 500 million users a day.

With his discovery, Killer was honored by Google and awarded the exact amount of $ 3133.7. It is no coincidence that the technology giant offers such an odd and difficult-to-see bonus. In fact this is an implicit compliment from Google for the effort and talent of Killer, with stylized characters in the language "news" 31337 = eleet, synonymous with "elite", yes meaning elite.

The flaw that Killer discovered was one of the most dangerous and widespread, called XSS (Cross-Site Scripting). Bad guys can use this vulnerability to inject malicious code into websites.
