I think the thread title is still misleading.

Most news media have headlines like this:
"Five-year-old boy discovers serious Xbox security flaw and hacks into dad's account"
"Five-year-old hacks Xbox, discovers security flaw"
"5-year-old cracks Xbox One security by discovering simple flaw"

They don't mention Xbox >LIVE<, and I believe that this is correct, because the security flaw was probably not related to XBL, the online service.

That's because they don't realize this has everything to do with LIVE...on XB1. As far as I know, you don't need passwords to log into different XB1 accounts, unless we're talking about Live accounts.

Actually it has nothing to do with Live. Its a securitty feature that stops his kids playing rated games. Which works offline. So yes the thread title is 100% wrong.
