Mark Zuckerberg’s Identity Was Hacked on Facebook [Hackers]

Writing on his own Facebook fan page, Mark Zuckerberg today proposed that he forsake all riches for social good. Uh, sure. Naturally, this kind of declaration didn’t really come from the arena’s youngest billionaire; Zuckerberg just got hacked.

The message, apparently posted under the Facebook CEO’s own account ID (see image below), read,

Let the hacking begin: If facebook needs money, in place of going to the banks, why doesn’t Facebook let its users spend money on Facebook in a social way? Why not transform Facebook into a ‘social business’ the manner Nobel Price winner Muhammad Yunus described it? http://bit.ly/fs6rT3 What do you’re thinking that? #hackercup2011

Now, says TechCrunch , the fan page has been deleted. Which is smart; Zuckerberg lives modestly and has had his commendable philanthropic moments , but his investors include a Russian oligarch , Goldman Sachs, and many venture capitalists. They’re not about to provide up their dividends and commit all future profits to social causes , as the hacker-cum-Zuckerberg proposed.

Besides, if Facebook really wants to reinforce the social good it could start by simply fixing that problem where your Facebook account will likely be trivially hijacked at any Starbucks .
