Khalil Shreateh, the Palestinian hacker exposed a security loophole by breaking into Mark Zuckerberg’s Facebook Timeline. After posting directly on Facebook CEO’s wall, Shreateh was losing out on a minimum of $500 that Facebook paid to independent researchers who exposed security loopholes in the system. Khalil Shreateh initially contacted Facebook using the Whitehat Disclosure Program reporting the bug that allows you to post on the walls of people you are not friends with. The hack violated one of the very fundamental principles of Facebook: you can’t interact personally with people you are not friends with.
