Ah, that's true. They even have HackerOne activity from 8 years ago: https://hackerone.com/daniel/hacktivity?type=user

So either they lied about their age then in order to join social media and they're some sort of child prodigy... or they're lying now.

that's a hackerone bug, that 8-year-old report is not mine :)
It's clearly a different username on the 8 year old report.
Or that hackerone account has been traded.
H1 activity at 8 is pretty crazy but yeah, I never put real information unless it's financial/stuff I care about

It's not unfathomable for a precocious 8yr old to register for an account, with or without parental guidance.
