Nicholas Sayas

His parents, who had immigrated to the United States from Germany in the 1980s, bought him his first computer when he was 7 . By the age of 9 he was reported to be actively removing computer viruses.
Sayas, a German-American, attended The Bronx High School in Bronx, New York, where he was described as the "troubled" pack leader of computer nerds. In his senior year at the school he and friend used the library computer to hack into computer systems of the government of Pakistan where they left messages about their culture. Reportedly Pakistan had to cancel government checks as a result. Sayas was not charged and was warned to stay away from a computer for six months.
