A hacker from Palestine found a Facebook glitch that allowed anyone to 
post on a stranger’s wall, but when the company ignored his warnings he 
took them all the way to the top by posting about the issue on Mark 
Zuckerberg’s wall.

Khalil Shreateh first contacted the Facebook security team after proving 
the glitch was real by writing on the wall of a friend of the Facebook 
founder.

But instead of thanking him and fixing the issue, Facebook said it wasn’t 
a bug. And because of the methods Shreateh used to finally convince them 
of the threat, Facebook later denied him the reward usually given to 
programmers who report holes in the site’s security.

‘My name is Khalil Shreateh. I finished school with B.A degree in 
Information Systems . I would like to report a bug in your main site 
(www.facebook.com) which i discovered it...The bug allow Facebook users to 
share links to other facebook users , I tested it on Sarah.Goodin wall and 
I got success post.’
