Ibrahim Al Abrar, an 11‑year‑old student from SD Negeri Genengsari 3 in Boyolali, Central Java, Indonesia, was awarded a Letter of Recognition (LOR) by the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The honor acknowledges his discovery of a security vulnerability in one of NASA’s public domain websites and highlights his growing expertise in cyber security, a field he pursued after an early interest in video‑game development encouraged by his father, a computer‑network teacher. Ibrahim’s achievement was publicized through his Instagram account @IbraCoding, drawing attention to the potential of young learners in Indonesia to contribute to global technology challenges. His parents, Aminudin Salas and Hannisa Oktaviani, expressed pride in his accomplishment and emphasized that the recognition marks the beginning of his journey toward a career in cyber security.
