You KNOW the World is INSANE when....
A guy in Palestine.... decides to hack Facebook...
He hacks the account of the owner...
Then some guy comes along and decides that this hacker needs a reward... so he creates a Gofundme site to raise money to send to this Palestinian hacker...
At this point he has not sent the money to Palestine yet... and he isn't even sure how to do that yet...
BUT The goal was $10,000
He has raised so far.... $13,125 raised by 303 people in 8 days.
HACKING now has a new term "SECURITY RESEARCH"
:o

You might have told the whole story.
Which is?
*edit* Sorry, that was a very rude way to phrase it. I'd still like to ask what is the full story, since you raised the point..
And yes, the world is truly mad. It isn't just me any more. It's everywhere.
I don't feel so lonely anymore, but I don't feel very safe either...
Fruitbat.

Ohhh I'm intruiged :P
Z, I'm all
for funding hackers that like to make life hell for TPTB and their associates ;D
The Palestinian guy found a bug on Facebook and warn them, expecting to get money for his discovery (Facebook pays to people that find bugs in the system), but they ignored him, so he used the bug to post on Zuckerberg's wall without being one of his friends.
