Lahore siblings become youngest Certified Ethical Hackers

LAHORE: Following the footsteps of Arfa Karim and Aziz Awan, young brother and sister Musfira and Ahmed have proved their mettle in the computers world as they cleared exams of Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) with flying colours.

Class-5 student Ahmed, 9, and his 14 years old sister Musfira have earned the honours of becoming youngest ever certified hackers of the CEH.

Belonging to a middle-class family from Lahore’s Ravi Road neighbourhood, both children always wanted to pursue their careers in the Information Technology (IT).

They have expressed their desire to be part of the government’s efforts to safeguard sensitive national data and websites.

Parents and teachers of the two kids are proud on their achievement but do not wish for any financial assistance from the government. However, they do want the authorities to encourage the children by providing them tours of important IT facilities available in the country.
