Mark Zuckerberg’s Facebook Wall hacked !

Wow ! It sounds great, Facebook account of its owner got hacked.Khalil, a Palestinian white hat hacker , submitted bug reports to Facebook about a vulnerability that allowed him to post on anyone's wall. But Facebook's security team didn't do anything. So Khalil wrote on Mark Zuckerberg's wall about it and was generally a badass.According to Khalil, he submitted a full description of the bug, plus follow-up proof of its existence to the Facebook security feedback page , where researchers can win rewards of at least $500 for finding significant vulnerabilities. Then he submitted again. The second time he got an e-mail back that said, "I am sorry this is not a bug." When he posted on Zuckerberg's wall, Khalil said, "First sorry for breaking your privacy and post to your wall , i has no other choice to make after all the reports i sent to Facebook team ." He then detailed the situation and provided links.Within minutes, a Facebook engineer contacted Khalil for more information and then blocked his account "as a precaution" while a security team fixed the bug. Later his account was re-enabled. But Facebook says that he cannot claim a reward for the find because in hacking Zuck's wall he violated Facebook's terms of service. They commented that, "exploiting bugs to impact real users is not acceptable behavior for a white hat. In this case, the researcher used the bug he discovered to post on the timelines of multiple users without their consent." Facebook admits, though, that its team should have been more diligent in following up on Khalil's submission . So. Cool. Problem solved. Source: Gizmodo.in courtesy - Times Of India

Chennai Express Collections - Rewriting A History

"Chennai Express" arrived on screens with lot of expectations and obviously managed to surpass even beyond the expectations with huge profit. "Chennai Express" is really doing very well till now in fact it's a record breaking train.It has already achieved many miles and just few more records are remaining before this film rewrites history. Again, the "Chennai Express" started with low occupancy on Saturday and with the day film it kept increasing almost across the board. Film did well in major cities like Mysore, Nizam, West Bengal and Bihar but unfortunately the film is not preferred by audiences in big cities like Delhi and Mumbai due to over exposure in week one and release of Akshay Kumar's OUATIMD. According to the early estimates, "Chennai Express" should collect around 7.35 cr nett today which means film has collected 170 cr nett plus in 9 days. Now film looks certain to cross 179 cr nett by end of tomorrow and 193 - 195 cr nett should be minimum target for the film by end of week 2 considering holiday for Rakshabandhan on Tuesday. That gonna leave only 10 cr more for all time record in coming 3rd and 4th week which is not difficult in any aspect.
