Hacker says he\u2019ll livestream deletion of Zuckerberg\u2019s Facebook page this sunday being the 30th day of September 2018 and he said we can login to our facebook page to see if that will not happen and this was said his 26,000 plus followers.<\/p>\n
A white-hat hacker is promising to livestream his bid to hack into Mark Zuckerberg\u2019s Facebook account on Sunday (30th September). \u201cBroadcasting the deletion of Facebook founder Zuck\u2019s account,\u201d\u00a0Chang Chi-yuan\u00a0told his 26,000-plus followers on the social network, adding: \u201cScheduled to go live.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to\u00a0Bloomberg, the self-proclaimed bug bounty hunter is a minor celebrity in Taiwan who\u2019s appeared on talk shows and was reportedly sued by a local bus operator after breaching their systems to nab a ticket for just NT$1 (3 cents). Earlier this month, Chi-yuan shared a screenshot showing an Apple Pay loophole he\u2019d found that allowed him to pay NT$1 for 500 iPhones. His other claims include cyber-attacks on Apple and Tesla, and he\u2019s also listed on Japanese messaging giant Line\u2019s 2016 bug-hunters\u2019\u00a0hall of fame.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t want to be a proper hacker, and I don\u2019t even want to be a hacker at all,\u201d Chang said in a\u00a0recent\u00a0post. \u201cI\u2019m just bored and try to dabble so that I can earn some money.\u201d Facebook, like other tech giants, dishes out cash to cyber-security experts who point out flaws in its system as part of a\u00a0bug bounty program. But considering all the setbacks it\u2019s currently facing \u2014 including the departure of\u00a0Instagram\u2019s founders\u00a0and its ongoing\u00a0fake news\u00a0crisis \u2014 it probably doesn\u2019t want to deal with a high-profile hack right now.<\/p>\n
Neither is the company keen on paying out bounties to people who test vulnerabilities against real users. Back in 2013, it\u00a0refused\u00a0to reward Khalil Shreateh \u2014 a systems information expert from Palestine \u2014 for hacking into Zuck\u2019s account and posting an Enrique Iglesias video on the wall of one of his college friends. The Facebook founder has also previously had his Twitter and Pinterest\u00a0accounts\u00a0breached by notorious hacker group OurMine.<\/p>\n
