Facebook, Zuckerberg mocked a hacker steals your profile

There could be no better way to show how Facebook is insecure. An identity is still unknown hacker took control of the official page of Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of the social network, fun to send messages to thousands of fans of the young millionaire. Just enough time to collect 1800 "like" and about 500 comments to his post and only the social network was forced to remove the page of the founder, and hold at least some type of comment.

A total fool that sooner or later have to explain. WATCH THE MESSAGE The message sent by the hacker's fake Zuckerberg was this "What the hacking begins: If Facebook needs money, instead of going by the banks, because it allows its users to invest in a social way, why not transform Facebook a "social business" in the way he described the Nobel prize winner Muhammad Yunus? What do you think? ".

A clear reference to the recent investment in Goldman Sachs in the social network and then, with a proposal by the hacker to abandon the traditional capitalist systems to embrace the experience of Yunus and his social business, where profits are not distributed among the investors but used for improving the structure and social goals.

The message "revolutionary" hacker has received comments and insults, but it certainly has affected the reader's attention in disbelief in front of such a communication. With the message, the fake Zuckerberg has left # hackercup2011 dell'hashtag reference, a code used in conversations on the microblogging site Twitter.

It is a further insult to Facebook, as the Hacker Cup 2011 is nothing but a competition organized by social networks to bring out the best talent in the computing landscape. The attacker's fan page Zuckerberg is a candidate and then as a likely winner, though outside the screens of the competition.

Apart from the figure certainly not exciting for Facebook and its founder (and for those involved in dealing with the page), the security problem on social networks back to the attention of the now 600 million users of the site. In these hours was circulated to the latest report on the subject, drawn up by computer security company Sophos, which indicated the social network as a key vehicle for malware and spam.

But even if Mark Zuckerberg is able to guard their passwords, who can be said to be truly safe?
