Facebook Hacker Awarded $11,000 by Crowdsourced Campaign
The Palestinian hacker who broke into Mark Zuckerberg's Facebook Timeline to call attention to a bug he discovered will get at least $11,000 as a reward — but not from Facebook, it will come from an online crowdsourced campaign
The GoFundMe campaign to reward the hacker, Khalil Shreateh, raised more than its initial goal of $10,000 in approximately one day. At press time, 199 donors had contributed to the campaign with contributions totaling $11,305. Marc Maiffret, Chief Technology Officer of security firm BeyondTrust, launched the effort after Facebook refused to reward Shreateh.
