Vendetta: Google's 15 year old wonder boy employee
For Tom Vendetta, 15 year New Jersey student, writing and sending fake press releases were just for fun. He used said press releases to trick his friends and classmates. Nevertheless, for Google the know-how of the teen is a big deal. Hence, Vendetta was employed by the search engine giant to work on security flaws in the Gmail.

Vendetta sets the record as the youngest employee of Google. It can be recalled that Vendetta was the wonder boy who foiled Google news credibility by pointing out a press release named after Sonya Johnson who claims to be Google spokesperson. Nonetheless, her existence is unverified thus therefore treated as fictitious. Said press release was published through I-Newswire free service. It contained many spelling mistakes.

According to Larry Page, Google CEO, "The student will receive a lowered salary, which will be placed into a bank account for future education." He further added, "We look forward to working with Vendetta's expertise in JavaScript and AJAX."
