A Palestinian hacker, Khalil Shreateh has used his discovery of a security glitch to have into the page of Facebook's co-founder, Mark Zuckerberg. The glitch allows anyone to post onto the Facebook wall of a stranger. Shreateh had initially sent a report of the bug to the Facebook Team but they did not pay him any attention, brushing aside his claims and saying it was not a bug, until he decided to take the bull by the horns and post directly on Mark's wall. The Facebook Team the responded to him with immediate alacrity. However, because of the intrusive manner that the Palestinian employed, Facebook said he will be receiving the stipulated $500 reward paid to anyone who is able to penetrate Facebook's security network.

Khalil Shreateh, whose first language is Arabic had tried it first with Mark's friend and fellow Harvard alumnus, Sarah Goodin by posting on her wall, hoping that he will get some kind of response, but he did not. His post on Sarah's wall reads:

My name is Khalil Shreateh. I finished school with B.A DEGREE in Information Systems. I would like to report a bug in your main site (www.facebook.com) which i discovered it.... The bug allow Facebook users to share links to other Facebook users, I tested it on Sarah. Goodi wall and I got success post.

But when he did not get any tangible response and was told that it was not a bug, he hacked his way onto Mark's page:

'Sorry for breaking your privacy, I had no other choice....after all the reports I sent to Facebook team'.

The post has been removed since and the security lapse has been fixed. The team then contacted him and demanded to know how he did the hacking. Facebook says they will not be giving the dude any reward but welcome his notifying them of any glitch in the future. Well, let's see if Facebook will employ the dude or not...lol!

Saw this yesterday. He was sent a mail immediately after the post on Mark's wall. Obviously his plans of reaching him worked.
