To be honest, the whole title is silly. Apparently a kid needs to be "bored" to do that. It's obviously an important information. "Zero-day exploit" is also an amazing way to call "changing the hour to make the crops grow faster".

The whole title is a click bait, as we expect some kind of hacker kid prodigy (after all, he was "bored", not actively hacking) who would have found a severe exploit in iOS and Android.

The article can be summed up by "a young kid changes the hour on her device to make the crops grow faster in the game".

(heck, I was changing the date to make my sharewares work longer at the same age and nobody wrote about me)

The inevitability in the movie Idiocracy is manifesting itself by having "set the clock forward" being considered an incredibly devious hacking technique and labeled as a 0day :P It's good to see that even when everyone born these days are morons that there are still going to be a small subset of people who are more creative and intelligent than the rest.

Let's not exaggerate. Just because the article is silly and obviously trying to make something bigger than it actually is doesn't mean that "everyone born these days are morons".
