People Reveal the Strangest Things That Ever Happened to Them

#67: The Dangers of Genius

Back in school, there was a kid who always kept to himself but had a clear talent for tech. One day, he reportedly hacked into a major system—so serious that school staff couldn’t handle it on their own. What followed was an eerie silence. He was pulled from class and never seen at school again.

Rumors spread like wildfire. Some said he was recruited. Others whispered about consequences far more serious. The event was never mentioned by teachers again. Whether it was a case of teenage mischief or a genius too powerful for his own good, the story sounded like it was pulled from a spy drama. Sometimes, truth really is stranger than fiction.
