Yeah kind of a similar story. We had our access to PC revoked when we were 10 because we did not switch off our Rollercoaster tycoon 2 session at 9PM.



Around that age i got my pc privileges revoked. "Grounded" was how it was referred. My parents both were tech savy. I managed to download a keylogger and swipe the login password before end of first week of punishment. I had access for HW, strictly hw. That's when i made a move. By 12 i had custom .exe made but god knows who with GUI capable of ddos among other nettools i shouldn't have had. Nobody taught those things to me. It just happened. Had the idea probably from a movie or tv..
