26 January 2011 - Mark Zuckerberg’s Facebook fan page seems to have been hacked, with the hacker posting a message calling on the company to transform into a “social business.”
The message, seemingly posted on Facebook from Mark Zuckerberg’s account, was quickly removed (together with the fan page), but not quickly enough to go by unnoticed, receiving more than 1,800 “likes” and hundreds of comments in the process.
The message read: “Let the hacking begin: If facebook needs money, instead of going to the banks, why doesn’t Facebook let its users invest in Facebook in a social way? Why not transform Facebook into a ‘social business’ the way Nobel Prize winner Muhammad Yunus described it? [LINK] What do you think? #hackercup2011″
Facebook made no statement about the incident, but if Zuckerberg’s fan page was indeed hacked, it’s a big deal. If the Facebook CEO (more accurately, the PR team that’s handling the page for him) can’t keep his Facebook account safe from intruders, who can?
We’ve reached out to Facebook about the incident and will update the post when we hear back.

Wow, very sobering thought! I have many security devices in place for my Link Share Forums, I can see that it is attacked almost everyday! If I can protect my site then why does Face Book with all it's resources not insure the safety of their members accounts? Beyond me on this!
Nice. I just saw that movie the other night. It was alright, but I'm not sure if it deserves to be nominated for every Oscar in the universe and beyond. Does this have anything to do with the post here? Probably not. But yes, if that guy's account is getting hacked, there's not much hope for the rest of us. Someone hacked my daughter's the other day. Creepy.
Why lie, I let out a booty-bubble from laughter when I read about this on msn! lol
