Facebook chief executive Mark Zuckerberg has been targeted by hackers, with an unidentified user logging into his official fan page to post an update under the executive’s own name.
According to a screenshot taken by TechCrunch, the user gained access to Zuckerberg’s account and posted a status update on the fan page.
“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,” the status update reads.
The update immediately gained attention from users, attracting hundreds of comments and “likes”.
Facebook has now reportedly taken the fan page down.
