What if Brain Burst is a government conspiracy?
Rather than a hacker-creator and program so magically advanced that they can remain invisible to national-security cameras, it's simpler to suppose that the Department of Internal Security is actually BEHIND the whole thing.
Someone in the government found a way to make their people practically superhuman, but they wanted to introduce this revolutionary technology/lifestyle gradually, and in a fairly contained manner.
So they released it to children, limited it to children, and shackled it to a VR game.
And the whole time, the Department is observing the sociological effects of Acceleration on human behavior.
