Hacker posts Facebook bug report on Zuckerberg's wall

Hacker posts Facebook bug report on Zuckerberg's wall

A Palestinian information system expert says he was forced to post a bug report on Mark Zuckerberg's Facebook page after the social network's security team failed to recognize that a critical vulnerability he found allows anyone to post on someone's wall. The vulnerability, which was reported by a man calling himself ‘Khalil,' allows any Facebook user to post anything on the walls of other users - even when those users are not included in their list of friends. He reported the vulnerability through Facebook's security feedback page, which offered a minimum reward of US$500 for each real security bug report.

However, the social network's security team failed to acknowledge the bug, even though Khalil enclosed a link to a post he made on the timeline of a random girl who studied at the same college as Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg. 

"Sorry, this is not a bug," Facebook's security team said in response to Khalil's second report, in which he offered to reproduce the discussed vulnerability on a test account of Facebook security expert. After receiving the reply, Khalil claims he had no choice but to showcase the problem on Mark Zuckerberg's wall.

Facebook is for people that want an crave atention Facebook and all the other social webites will never be secure just like they are always watched by the goverments, but then i never liked those social websites, so i bias


Governments must love Facebook. All they need to do is type a name and up pops the persons picture.

LOL! But I guess smart crooks delete their accounts if ever made or make fake ones.. As for the dump ones.. Well they are the ones get caught first obviously... :D

Also I quote a piece from an article on another website:

"Facebook usually offers bounties for bug reports like this – $20,000 or more per bug, and in total the social network has paid over $1M"

It seems I rushed to early to bash the social network... They do indeed give a sizable reward and actually that's pretty neat. Good for them.

At least they are taking care of their money-well. And "well" as in the structure btw.. :P
