Hacker Fundraising raises &12,000 to the researcher who hacked Mark Zuckerberg's Facebook Page, after facebook refused to pay

Facebook may have refused to pay researcher Khalil Shreateh a bug bounty after he posted a message on Mark Zuckerberg’s Facebook page, but that doesn’t mean he’s going to go away empty-handed.
Shreateh posted the message on Zuckerberg’s Facebook page, exploiting the vulnerability he had discovered, after he become frustrated by the poor response from the social network’s security team. Irritated by their claim that he wasn’t reporting a bug, he effectively “went to the top” in order to get their undivided attention.
Shreateh lost the chance of receiving $500 or more from Facebook by breaking their guidelines for responsible investigation and disclosure of flaws on the site, much to the annoyance of many fellow security researchers and hackers online.
Well, if you were one of them, don’t despair. A fundraising campaign started by researcher Marc Maiffret has already raised over $12,000 for Shreateh.

Shreateh may have been unwise to have posted messages onto the Facebook pages of Zuckerberg and his college friend Sarah Goodin without permission, but it doesn’t look as though he’s going to miss out financially because of it.

The frustrated researcher, who failed to get an adequate response from Facebook’s security team and so hacked Mark Zuckerberg’s page to get their attention, is not going to receive a bug bounty for his discovery the social network has confirmed. In a posting made on the social network’s security page, Facebook chief security officer Joe Sullivan admitted that his team made mistakes in its interactions with Palestinian researcher Khalil Shreateh and failed in its communication with him. As a result, the site is going to make some changes in how it responds to potential vulnerability reports. “We should have explained to this researcher that his initial messages to us did not give us enough detail to allow us to replicate the problem. The breakdown here was not about a language barrier or a lack of interest — it was purely because the absence of detail made it look like yet another misrouted user report.” “We will make two changes as a result of this case: (1) We will ...
