And he lives in Hebron in Palestine. How will they give him the money? Answer: not easily. The financial blocks between that area and the rest of the world are just as real as the geopolitical ones. It will be impressive if they do it, short of a guy meeting him at a checkpoint and throwing an envelope to him.

#22And once you fix a bug reported by someone you don't get to deny their bounty. The best you can do is complain about the methods used to demonstrate it. You're not in a position to fk with hackers we are ultimately the ones helping you.
We have something that is ultimately more valuable on the black market that Facebook are paying us so they should be handing out bonuses not stealing what we earned.

How will that solve the problem? Great, he'll have a wallet full of bitcoins. How many vendors in Palestine accept them as payment for goods & services?

#25nice. he made the world a safer place. else { //Meanwhile somewhere in the black market $parent->postFacebook("I'll be early from work today and have lost my key. Leave the key in the flowers."); $child->postFacebook("Ok, no problemos."); }
Personally, I wouldn't leave my keys in the flowers because a random person I didn't know posted it on my wall.

He hadn't managed to actually impersonate another user, just post on someone's wall who hadn't friended him. Personally, I wouldn't leave my keys in the flowers because a random person I didn't know posted it on my wall.

#27Going to research it a bit to make sure he will get the funds and then I am also donating http://www.gofundme.com/3znhjs I am concerned "gofundme" will not be able to pay out to Palestine , I don't think paypal will work there and I don't even think USPS will deliver there? I know Israel will not allow Palestine to mail out internationally. update: they will NOT likely be able to pay out https://gofundme.zendesk.com/…

What if: the random person has a matching name and a photo? :D

> "create account, use" You mean create a fake account? Isn't that against TOS? > "use on established test account" Where the instructions are in English, even after changing language? > He was wrong, period, to post to a user's page Mark Z. is not just any user. FB is publicly traded, yes, but he is basically Facebook. It's not like he 'hacked into' someone's account.
The initial proof of concept post went to another user, not Mark Z. That was Facebook's basis for denying the claim.

He can still get online stuff with it. Online subscriptions. Video games. Pornography. Etc.
