Khalil Shreath to be paid $12000

             The Palestinian hacker, Khalil Shreath, who broke into Zuckerberg's Facebook Timeline to expose a security lapse will be awarded nearly $12000 but not from Facebook but from an online crowd sourced campaign.

             The hacker initially used Facebook's Whitehat disclosure program, a service that rewards bug hunters for reporting vulnerabilities and to inform the companies about the issue. Facebook refused to pay him for finding the bug since he used it to post on Mark Zuckerberg's Wall, because Facebook had ignored his earlier warnings. The exploit allows users to post to other Facebook user's Facebook timeline while they are not in friend list.

Marc Maiffret, CTO of BeyondTrsut, has kicked off a crowd-sourced funding to come up with a reward for Khalil Shreath and the results have already been impressive.

             Khalil Shreath found a vulnerability in Facebook.com and due to his mis-communication, was not rewarded for his work. Maiffret wrote on GoFundMe campaign page,"Let us all send a message to security researchers across the world and say that we appreciate the efforts they make for the good of everyone."

Maiffret said,"He is sitting in Palestine doing this research on a five year old laptop that looks like it is half broken." He also said,"It's something that might help him out in a big way."
