Zuckerberg's Facebook Page Hacked: Who's Next?

|

If you want to let Facebook know that there is a security bug that allows anyone to post on your Timeline, then demonstrating it on Mark Zuckerberg's Timeline seems like a surefire way to get the social network's attention.

That's exactly what Palestinian security researcher and hacker Khalil Shreateh did. Shreateh figured out that by entering in some website URLs, grabbing one's Facebook ID and doing some other non-obvious copying and pasting, he could post something on a non-friend's Facebook Timeline.

Shreateh first reported the bug to Facebook's White Hat Security team, which responded to his initial report by saying, "this is not a bug." That's when Shreateh decided to try it out on Facebook CEO Zuckerberg's Timeline.

Security Compass VP Rohit Sethi discusses all this and more with Emily Chang on Bloomberg Television’s "Bloomberg West."
