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.
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.
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.
