Mark Zuckerberg Facebook Account Hacked

A step was taken by the Facebook security researcher to alert the Facebook users for popular social networking site Facebook too is vulnerable to security flaws. The security flaw is that any Facebook user can post any stuff on anyone's wall without being in their friend list.  The security researcher informed about this by posting on the Mark Zuckerberg , The CEO of facebook's wall.

Initially, Khail Shreateh from Palestine tried to inform about this flaw to the Facebook security team but they paid no heed to it. Finally, then Khail posted this flaw on the wall of Mark Zuckerberg's friend, Sarah Goodin. In order to force Facebook team to take serious step on this, Khail initiated this flaw on Facebook CEO's wall Mark Zuckerberg.
As he did so, Facebook security manager contacted him and asked him about the details of the security flaw.

According to the Facebook’s management rules if anyone informs them about the flaws rather than using in a negative way, Facebook rewards the person with specific amount. But Shreateh was not rewarded with $US500 and fee amount. This is because he violated the terms of the site by doing so but they will acknowledge his help in case of finding flaws of the social media Facebook.

It was further confirmed by the team that the flaw has finally been set right. They also told that Sreahteh did not mention enough technical stuff to prove the flaw because of which the flaw was not given attention.
