Well, this is not less than astonishment for the fans of youngest billionaire the regular user of social Networking site that the fans page of the CEO of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg was hacked on Tuesday by a mystery invader as per report of the sources.

The wall of Mark Zuckerberg saw a new post which read “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? http://bit.ly/fs6rT3 what do you think? #hackercup2011?.

Right after this post, more than 1800 people liked this update and as many as 500 people made comments below it. However, it was for sure that Zuckerberg did not post this message and the moment it was known to the Facebook’s representatives, the page was brought down calling that it was hacked.

As per report of the sources, the hackers may have stolen control of the page by guessing the password, sniffing it out over unsecured wireless networks, tricking Zuckerberg or the account manager into revealing it, or even gaining control of their computer.

However, Hemanshu Nigam Founder of security consulting company SSP Blue says the breach was probably due to phishing.

The post has since been deleted and Zuckerberg’s page is now back up again. Strangely, Facebook has not commented about the hack and there is no mention about it on Mark Zuckerberg’s now online Facebook profile either.
