41 years old (Born on December 12, 1983)
Happy Birthday, Jonathan James! Celebrating the original teenage hacker who made history by sneaking into places most teens only dream about—like the U.S. Department of Defense servers at just 15 years old. While others were mastering video games and algebra homework, you took "extracurricular activities" to a whole new level.Though your youthful exploits landed you in hot water back then, today we remember them with humor as legendary tales that remind us all: never underestimate what teenagers can achieve when boredom meets brilliance (and perhaps too much caffeine). Here's hoping this birthday brings fewer firewalls—and more cake!
