Zuckerberg's Account Hacked !!.

Leave a Comment
Yesterday A researcher hacked into +Mark Zuckerberg ,the founder of facebook,Of Course he doesn't require any introduction.The Hacker said that he did so to expose a security flaw and to prove about the facebook bugs that still exist.While not many people know that when you report problems Facebook Inc rewards you.His Name was Khalil Shreateh from Palestine, went a step ahead to prove his point and posted about the bug on the CEO's wall. 

Shreateh initially tried to report the bug to Facebook's security team before posting something to Sarah Goodin's wall, a friend of Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg but he was not taken seriously till then. He then used the bug and posted a message on Zuckerberg's wall and explained about the flaw which prompted immediate action and within minutes the site's security engineer contacted him and asked for the details. 

Facebook has a bounty program where it pays people to report bugs instead of using them maliciously but it did not pay the $US500+ fee amount to Shreateh because they cited him violating the site's terms of service, although, they asked him to continue to help them find bugs. 

The site's security team then later confirmed that the bug had been fixed and added that bounty was denied because Shreateh did not include enough technical info when he tried to report the bug, the report added.
