- dspillett 13y agoI didn't, but I suppose many have facebook accounts and would prefer people like him keep giving information about exploits to facebook instead of selling the information to the highest bidder as a "zero day" or just leaving it unfixed so someone less scrupulous can find it and use/sell it for nefarious means. It could also be people who like to see facebook and/or its figure head with egg on face, who want to encourage this fellow (and others) to mess with Zuckerberg's profile again for that entertainment value.
- alttag 13y agoI also didn't, but some of the articles on the subject paint "the guy" as a down-on-his-luck hacker in developing country and ancient computer hardware trying to do the right thing. It's presented as almost a charity donation or a scholarship to someone in less than affluent circumstances.
