The Facebook page of company founder Mark Zuckerberg has been hacked by an unknown person, who left a status update calling for more social investment in the company. A message was posted calling on Facebook to look towards social investment from ordinary people, rather than encouraging investment from banks and capital specialists.
The message 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? What do you think? #hackercup2011."
The message appears to have been in reference to the recent investments in Facebook by Goldman Sachs and a Russian venture capital firm, valuing the social network at $50bn. Concerns have been raised over the secrecy clouding the deal.
Embarrassingly for Zuckerberg, more than 1,800 people 'liked' the update and almost 500 left comments before the post eventually was taken down.
