Mark Zuckerberg's Facebook Page Hacked

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the because-you-can dept.

dinscott writes "An unknown hacker broke into the 26-year-old internet celebrity's Facebook account and posted a bizarre message calling upon the firm to adopt a social cause. More than 1800 people 'liked' the update before Facebook took down their CEO's page. Facebook has made no public statement about how the hack occurred, possibly to save their CEO from embarrassment."

    The new /. still sucks. Yeah, mod me offtopic. I'll take the karma hit for a good cause.

      WTF. I just came to /. for the first time since the update. If anyone mods you down, it's unreasonable. This really is shit. What a convoluted mess.

      I'm waiting for the "What do you think of the redesign?" poll. There are multiple scenarios in which /. simply became unusable.
      Oh, and by all means mod me down too. If nobody criticizes, nothing will change.

    1) This new interface sucks. First my classic, text-only settings have disappeared which slows donw loading a LOT. Second the Menus and "reply" buttons do not appear on Mozilla Seamonkey or Opera. I have to set the "mask as internet explorer" flag to trick slashdot into believing Mozilla/Opera are IE. Bogus.

    2) Back to topic:

    Yes I'm sure the hacking of the CEO's account will make a few heads roll at today's meetings. "Why was this allowed to happen?" will be the shouted words while the managers trip over each other trying to fix the mess & do damage control so they don't get fired.

    Frak. I didn't know slashdot ran on a Commodore Amiga. Perhaps a 4000 with 68060 (75 mhz)?

    aside - Mac OS running on an Amiga

    Even the threshold slider is broken. The editing AND programming done by this site appears to be done by those with no more than a two-year community college degree. How STUPID can you people be to release something that is broken for most of the users? How is this supposed to be better? Please, enlighten me. Is it better because it looks new? Because you decided to surprise everyone? Come on. Enlighten me.

    Great..what the hell did Slashdot do this time, to fsck up my browsing experience.

    *sigh*

    I hope in preferences there is a way to revert back yet again to classic slashdot...
