Mark Zuckerberg Facebook accounts hijacked by hackers

Action hacking can happen to anyone, not indiscriminately. Even one as famous as Mark Zuckerberg, who was none other than the founder of Facebook, did not escape the taxable plow.

Page up Zuckerberg reportedly burglarized hackers, which causes a lot of people fooled. Hacker is meddling that lead users to post status to invest in the site made by the figure of Time's Man 2010. Here's the status that had posted these:

"Let the hacking begin: If Facebook needs money, instead of going to the banks, why does not Facebook let its users invest in up in a social way? Why not transform up into a 'social business' the way Nobel Prize winner.

Installation of such status seems related to the publication of value up to reach USD 50 billion because of investments by Goldman Sachs and a Russian company. Hacker Cup 2011 being the inclusion of allegedly closely associated with the annual hacker competition held by the up with the final later on March 11. The only clue left behind by the perpetrator is a link embedded in the status that leads to the Wikipedia page about the 'social business', as well as links to a photo competition entitled Hacker Cup above.
 
Reportedly, a total of more than 1,800 Facebook users have been fooled and clicking the 'like', before finally the Facebok care. There was no official statement from the company came out about how piracy incident that happened, obviously this is very embarrassing, especially for some people in who are assigned to operate the account Zuckerberg. It's possible one of them missed the boss up account data information thus allowing hackers enter.
 
Senior technology consultant at security firm Sophos, Graham Cluely said that Mark Zuckerberg on this incident should revisit the privacy settings and its security. It is unclear whether Zuckerberg careless with their password, or whether he was subject to phishing, or theft of data while sitting at Starbucks with the use of wireless networks that are not encrypted. Acts of piracy up 'big boss' is itself following a similar incident that befell the French president, Nicolas Sarkozy.
