The Unsocial Network: Mark Zukerberg's Facebook Page Is Hacked

It's like a plot from a movie. Facebook founder, Mark Zukerberg, has had his Facebook page hacked.

Someone got through Facebook's crap security tight security and left this message on Zukerberg's wall:

 "Let the hacking begin: If facebook needs money, instead of going to the banks, why doesn't Facebook let its users invest in Facebook in a social way? Why not transform Facebook into a 'social business' the way Nobel Prize winner Muhammad Yunus described it? What do you think? #hackercup2011".

Facebook took down its Chief Executive's page, but, according to The Guardian, not before 1800 people had "liked" the post.
It's mighty embarrassing for Facebook, which is desperately trying to persuade users that it takes security seriously.

A couple of days ago, the account of French President, Nicolas Sarkozy, was also hacked and a post left claiming he was resigning. He has since posted saying he has no intention of quitting.
