Facebook May Not Pay A Bounty To Mark Zuckerberg Wall Hacker Khalil Shreateh, But Others Will

Facebook is still refusing to pay a bounty to Khalil Shreateh, the security researcher who used the bug he discovered to post directly on Co-Founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s Timeline after Facebook Security rejected his attempts to report it, but Beyond Trust Chief Technology Officer Marc Maiffret is doing his best to make sure Shreateh doesn’t walk away from this experience empty-handed.

Maiffret launched a fundraising campaign Monday on GoFundMe, aimed at raising $10,000 for Shreateh, and, at the time of this post, it had already exceeded its goal, tallying $11,095.
