Looks like a recent hack into Mark Zuckerberg’s Facebook page was not intended to threaten the young CEO.
Khalil Shreateh, a programmer from Palestine posted on his own blog that he found a glitch that allowed anyone to post on a stranger’s wall. Unfortunately his feedback was ignored by the Facebook security team and replied that the glitch that Khalil reported was not a bug.
According to Facebook’s white hat disclosure programme, programmers and hackers will be rewarded $500 if they can submit or prove any glitches on Facebook.
In order to prove his point, Khalil used the glitch to hack his way onto Zuckerberg’s Facebook page by writing on the wall, started with a sincere “Sorry for breaking your privacy,” because “I had no other choice“.
However, his actions prompted an immediate reply from Facebook, asking how and why he did what he did on Zuckerberg’s page. Facebook security team Matt Jones said that Khalil will not be rewarded for this as he has violated the terms of service.
