Yes, the incredible happened at this year's DEFCON, where too many children were given the chance to violate an expensive model of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs website.
According to the representatives of DEFCON, children had at their disposal 13 copies of websites of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, from different states. 11time Emmett Brewster was able to hack one of these in 10 minutes.
Emmett was one of the 50 children aged between 8 and 16 years of attending a special children's lab at this year's hacker conference. According to Quartz, children were able to change things on bogus websites, such as ballot papers, candidate names and track names.

Η National Association of Secretaries of State, η οργάνωση που είναι πίσω από το Αμερικάνικο δημόσιο εκλογικό system issued the following statement on hack:
Our main concern about the approach adopted at DEFCON is that it uses a pseudo-environment that is by no means the state electoral system. Providing congressmen, voting machines, most of which are no longer used, does not mean that they are the exact machines that the government uses before and on election day. We are also worried why the creation of "fake" electoral systems and databases for voter registration for hacking by participants is unrealistic.
However, the exact reproduction of the natural environment of an online polling center was not exactly the point of the exercises. The aim was to focus on the defects discovered by the participants and showed to DEFCON.
Nico Sell, founder of the nonprofit Asylum r00tz, which teaches White Hat hacking children, told PBS NewsHour that the defects found by Emmett and other children at the conference were "real."
They are very accurate copies of all webpages. These things should not be easy for an 8 age child who will do it within 30 minutes, it is negligence for us as a society.
