Boy breaks MI5 computer system

Max White is only ten years old, but he has a honor of being the youngest person that has ever fooled the Security Services of MI5. Max, whose father is the Chief Inspector on the Metropolitan Police, had soon infiltrated all his father’s confidential files. Max was too young to understand the seriousness of what he was doing. Early in the morning he would creep into his father’s office, closing the door gently behind him, and turn on the computer. He realized that different codes gave him access to certain files, and he soon discovered files that even his father was unaware of. Keith Hamilton, who is the Government Section Chief of MI5, monitored the progress of this unknown spy.

He wondered what sort of super intelligence could break the codes which they thought were indecipherable. But what he couldn’t understand was why the spy made no attempt to close all the files behind him, thus making it obvious – that espionage was taking place.

The reason became apparent when they discovered their so-called secret agent. Max didn’t know how to close down – the files, only how to open them. This incident has been an expensive lesson for MI5, Who have had to change their whole computer system. Max doesn’t really understand why everyone is making such a fuss, but he has promised to stick to Super Mario and Nintendo from now on.
