Mark Zuckerbergs Facebook account Hacked by Palestinian Hacker

After repeatedly reporting a bug to Facebook developers and engineers and 

failing to get a response, Khalil (a Palestinian white hacker) decided to demonstrate the security issue to Mark Zuckerberg; He posted on Zuckerberg’s facebook page to show how a user could post to all facebook users even if they were not friends.

Khalil posted the issue on his blog post:

“Days ago I discovered a serious facebook vulnerability that allows a facebook user to post to all facebook users timeline even (if) they are not in his friend list.

I reported that exploit through > wwww.facebook.com/whitehat

Khalil apologised for hacking Zuckerberg’s account. “First sorry for breaking your privacy and post to your wall, I has no other choice to make after all the reports I sent to Facebook team.”

Facebook engineers immediately deactivated Khalil’s FB account to “investigate” but re-activated later after fixing the bug.

But the powers that be at Palo Alto said Khalil was not entitled to an award because he violated privacy rules by posting on a users profile without permission.

    Royal Bengal tiger tears his American trainer apart in Mexico

    American Alexander Crispin was a tiger trainer and performer in Circo Suarez
    in Sonora state, Mexico but unfortunately the wild cats get offended during one of his performances and torn him apart to death in front of horrible audiences as is shown in footage posted on Youtube.

    Mexican news agency Notimex reported Mr Crispin could not recover from neck injuries, he sustained from animal attack and died while receiving medical treatment  at Red Cross hospital Huatabampo, as a result of hypovolemic shock.

    The video shows spectators fleeing the circus tent as two workers beat the
    tiger to free Mr Crispin, who was pinned to the ground. It is presumed that the Bengal Tiger was killed by one of the companions of the trainer during the struggle to try to save the trainer's life.

    The owner of Circo Suarez was yesterday called to testify at the Public Ministry in the town of Etchojoa, where the attack occurred.

    In the wild, Bengal tigers live alone and aggressively scent-mark large
    territories to keep their rivals away - but rarely attack humans. In their natural habitat Bengal tigers are powerful nocturnal hunters that travel many miles to find buffalo, deer, wild pigs, and other large mammals.

    A hungry tiger can eat as much as 60lbs in one night, though they usually eat
    less. Despite their fearsome reputation, most tigers avoid humans however, a few do become dangerous maneaters.

    Mallory Hagan; Miss N.Y. Crowned Miss America 2013

    Mallory Hagan, 23, got the crown and $50,000 scholarship successfully
    defeating Miss South Carolina Ali Rogers, who took second, and Miss Oklahoma Alicia Clifton, who finished third. Her platform was stopping child sexual abuse. 23-year-old Miss New York, a.k.a. Mallory Hagan, took home the coveted tiara, as well as a $50,000 college scholarship, but the whole telecast was a flurry of rhinestones and midriffs. There was strutting, there were innumerable state-based jokes—like Miss Wisconsin’s “Where I’m from, cutting the cheese is a big deal!”— and there was even someone dancing to Journey’s “Faithfully.” The pageant’s buzzwords have always been “class” and “poise.”
