Mark Zuckerberg’s Fan Page Hacked

Well, isn’t this encour­ag­ing? The fan page of Face­book founder, Mark Zucker­berg,  just got hacked! The hacker posted the fol­low­ing on Zuckerberg’s page:

“Let the hack­ing begin: If face­book needs money, instead of going to the banks, why doesn’t Face­book let its users invest in Face­book in a social way? Why not trans­form Face­book into a ‘social busi­ness’ the way Nobel Price win­ner Muham­mad Yunus described it? http://bit.ly/fs6rT3 What do you think? #hackercup2011”

Hacked Up

Face­book quickly pulled the post but not before it got 1,803 likes! This fol­lows the hack­ing of many other celebrity accounts  like the recent Selena Gomez Twit­ter and Face­book hack­ing, which included a YouTube video detail­ing how it was done. The moral to the story? No one is safe. Also, Twit­ter and Face­book really need to step their secu­rity game up. As we shift more and more into the cloud, we need to know that our infor­ma­tion is safe. At present, it’s far from it. I wouldn’t trust any really con­fi­den­tial infor­ma­tion to any online ser­vice just yet.
