<i>If facebook needs money, instead of going to the banks, why doesn’t Facebook let its users invest in Facebook in a social way?</i><p>Unnamed hacker reinvents IPO, tells world.
Here's what a commenter, DogGunn, had to say (I copy below as I'm not sure it'll stay at the top):<p>"Article is wrong.<p>Mark's profile is here:
<a href="http://www.facebook.com/zuck" rel="nofollow">http://www.facebook.com/zuck</a><p>And his like page is here:
<a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/.." rel="nofollow">http://www.facebook.com/pages/..</a>.<p>Neither were hacked.<p>Someone had setup a fake profile at <a href="http://www.facebook.com/markzu.." rel="nofollow">http://www.facebook.com/markzu..</a>. and fooled Techcrunch. Facebook fixed by deleting the fake profile."<p>A quick copy+paste pretty much confirmed it for me.
Anyone else notice that the headline authoritatively declares that it was a hack, then the article copy indicates that they're not sure?<p>Shocker, right?
Very interesting -- I wonder if this is the result of having so many API access points. The documentation page lists FBML+FQL, Graph, "Old Rest API", and "Old Javascript Client Library" as options: <a href="http://developers.facebook.com/docs/" rel="nofollow">http://developers.facebook.com/docs/</a> Or are we back to good old XSS attacks?
