THE BOY WHO MISUSED HIS TALENTS

 

There was a boy named Zak who was very smart with computers. He could solve difficult problems and create programs that amazed his friends and teachers. But Zak’s cleverness led him down the wrong path.

One day, while browsing the internet, Zak discovered how hackers steal money from bank accounts. He was curious and decided to try it himself. At first, he didn’t take it seriously. “It’s just a game,” he told himself.

Zak practiced day and night, learning how to break into people’s accounts. Soon, he successfully stole a small amount of money. He was thrilled. Over time, Zak grew bolder and began stealing larger amounts from different people.

With the stolen money, Zak bought expensive clothes, gadgets, and other luxuries. His friends admired him for being rich, but no one knew the truth. Zak started to believe he was too smart to be caught.

One day, a man named Mr. Adam checked his bank account and found that all his savings were gone. He was shocked and immediately reported it to the bank. The bank informed the cybercrime police.

The police launched an investigation. They used advanced technology to track the hacker. It took weeks, but eventually, they traced Zak. One evening, the police arrived at his house with a warrant.

Zak was arrested in front of his family and neighbors. His parents were heartbroken and couldn’t believe their son had done such a terrible thing. At the police station, Zak confessed to everything.

The court gave Zak a severe punishment for his crimes. He was sent to prison for several years and had to return all the stolen money. On top of that, his reputation was ruined. People who had once admired him now spoke poorly of him.

Sitting alone in his prison cell, Zak realized the damage he had caused. He had not only ruined his life but also hurt innocent people. He wished he had used his skills for something good instead of harming others. This was a hard lesson for Zak, but it was too late to undo his actions.
