Security World Records

Hanzala Nazir of Faisalabad, Pakistan, was 16 when he completed an Amazon Web Services training course on responding to a ransomware attack in the cloud, AWS Security Incident Response - Ransomware Use Case, on February 17, 2026. In the video he introduces himself and shows the AWS Training & Certification completion certificate in his name, in a clear plastic sleeve on the carpet. RecordSetter read the name, course and completion date on the certificate in the footage and took his age from the date of birth he supplied; the record covers AWS course certificates, which are separate from AWS's exam-based certifications. Ransomware, consider yourself warned.
