And what does that exactly accomplish? Prison time?

If Facebook is smart, they would hire this Palestinian guy. Win-win for everyone.

I think he did the right thing. But this kind of reminds you of the Die Hard movie (i think its the 5th installment) the one where that young guy creates a system and no one listens to him and then he goes all gung ho on them

Call me a sceptic, but I wouldn't be surprised if this "hack" is little more than forging some simple http requests. OK, he found it (probably), but I doubt that makes him employable.

How long before they sue him for a billion dollars and get a default judgement, then use that dollar amount to inflate their net worth?

Correction for OP: If there is no such thing as Palestine, how can there be a Palestinian?

What is Palestine??? You mean... Israel.

First and foremost, the guy that hacked into Mark's account is NOT a " HACKER".

He is a security researcher, who took it upon himself to highlight a dangerous 'glitch' in regards to facebook privacy settings, that allows strangers to post directly on your profile wall/timeline.

He'd written several mails to the facebook privacy team, all of which went unanswered.

And that's when he decided to do a 'live demo' on Mark's account, to prove the severity of the issue.

It's understood that he may have done it to grab hold of facebook bug bounty program, which he will no longer be eligible for, for violating the TOS of facebook.

May be Future Israel or vice versa ... who knows

THIS IS SO DANGEROUS, BECAUSE........



...........it will allow people to make public ads without making facebook money.........

That was pretty cruel of Facebook. At least throw the guy $10k or something.

Well, I guess that's the last time people will be nice enough to alert Facebook of bugs found. Instead, they'll just sell them on the black market.

You're right. He is a guy playing with facebook at the client side level (he writes on his blog, thing like "post flash to facebook time line", etc) and he encountered this bug while playing around. He is not a security specialist but was lucky enough to find a good exploit.

Now he's made more than what facebook would have paid him. He would probably make more money in coming days via this publicity too.
