Khalil Shreateh, a Palestinian white hat hacker and programmer, submitted few days back bug reports to Facebook about a vulnerability that allowed him to post on anyone's wall. But Facebook's security team didn't do anything regarding that bug. So Khalil hacked Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg's wall and wrote ''First sorry for breaking your privacy and post to your wall, i has no other choice to make after all the reports i sent to Facebook team.'' Within minutes, a Facebook engineer contacted Khalil for more information regarding that bug and just for precaution blocked Khalil's Facebook account. Later Facebook security team fixed that bug and enabled his account.
But Khalil Shreateh violated the site's "Responsible Disclosure Policy". Hence Facebook will not reward Mr. Khalil.
If you know any such bug in Facebook, report Facebook and Facebook will reward you.
