Tired off posting and reporting bugs to Facebook White hat team and receiving no reply or appreciation at least ? Try out exploiting the bug and hitting the roots of the biggest social media outlets because that works ! at least for now because a  Palestinian security researcher who was constantly reporting a bug to Facebook white hat team, on not getting a reply used this bug against none other than Mark Zuckerberg. Yes ! one fine morning people noticed these words on the social media founder Mark saying “I has no other choice to make after all the reports I sent to Facebook team”. Within a minute , the account of Khalil Shreateh, the Palestinian security experts was suspended and the Facebook authorities were swift enough to contact him to “explain the details” of the exploit with an apology for the late responsive behavior.

Khalil was trying to report the bug through which one can hack into someone else’s timeline and play with the URL of the id to post on behalf of him without permission. Interesting thing is that Facebook ignored the hack of Mark’s friend Sarah Goodin, a college from college when Khalil hacked Sarah’s timeline a few day before the main incident. The white hat team was fast enough to label it as “not a bug”. “We should have responded to the report of Khalil but the matter is the lack of details, we cannot answer millions of reports we receive , you need to give us the details” said Facebook security engineer Matt Jones after the hack. According to Facebook, the bug has been removed now, experts hope that next time people will not have to illustrate the bug to Facebook competent authorities to grab their attention
