Hacker demoed Facebook flaw in Mark Zuckerberg’s timeline after got denied


It is the only way a security researcher from Palestine could think to prove he has found a legit security flaw in the main site of Facebook.

Khalil Shreateh posted details of a vulnerability he found in Facebook directly to its creator, “Mark Zuckerberg” after security team allegedly denied his claim twice.

A message of Khalil says, “Sorry for breaking your privacy … but a couple of days ago, I found a serious Facebook exploit” and continued to explain that Facebook security team denied the exploit.

No post is supposed to appear on someones timeline unless it is being posted by yourself or your friend but the security researcher found a way to do it.

Within  few minutes, a Facebook engineer asked technical details of the exploit and fixed it quickly Thursday last week.

Unfortunately, Facebook will not be rewarding the researcher for the glitch he reported because he did violated the Facebook white hat’s terms of service.
