A hacker from Palestine found a
Facebook glitch that allowed anyone to post on a stranger’s wall, but when the
company ignored his warnings, he took them all the way to the top by posting
about the issue on Mark Zuckerberg’s wall.
Khalil Shreateh first contacted the Facebook security team after proving the glitch was real by writing on the wall of a friend of the Facebook founder.
