Facebook.com Has Been Hacked!
That’s right, Facebook.com has been hacked. Or at least, that’s the way it appears here in Chicago. While it could well just be hacked for certain internet providers or geographic areas, it has been hacked. When typing in Facebook.com, it comes up as whats shown in the thumbnail of this post.
I’d like to hear if the same page is coming up when you go to Facebook.com. It’s always interesting to see someone hack into a website as big as Facebook.com. It requires a lot of knowledge, and I’m sure there will be news reports on it when an interesting story comes out of it. Make sure to share whether Facebook.com is working for you, or if it’s forwarding to this page I posted, by submitting your comments below.
The other question I think is important to pose is, how does a website as big as Facebook.com get hacked with all of their security measures. It sure looks like their security measures in this case just weren’t strong enough.
UPDATE: Facebook.com is back up and running normally again.
Facebook is working here in Atlanta, GA.
I can open the site normally and faced no problem. Was it hacked actually or some glitch in their system? Can some one post the latest update about this issue as this is really interesting to hear when some giant site gets hacked!
From the looks of it, it was hacked. From the page that was up, my assumption is Facebook would never put up something as poorly designed and random as what Facebook.com redirected users to. Facebook.com clearly jumped on the issue and fixed it quickly.
