Mark Zuckerberg is about to be thrust into the spotlight again as hackers threaten to delete the Facebook founder’s own social media account and stream it live to the world.
According to Bloomberg, Zuck will be stripped of his Facebook profile on Sunday (30 September) and humiliated in front of millions.
Writing in a Facebook post, Taiwanese Chang Chi-yuan promised to go full Anonymous and delete Zuckerberg’s account. According to the site, Chi-yuan is a well-known hacker in the world of the web.
If anyone was doubting Chang’s skills, he was previously sued by a local bus company for hacking its system and buying tickets for just a fraction of the RRP. He’s also reported to have tackled the likes of Apple and Tesla, but wants to take it to the next level and take on the corporate face of Facebook.
White-hat hackers are apparently all the rage in Taiwan, and Chi-yuan has previously posted about how you can earn a living from exposing flaws in the system. Chi-yuan’s Facebook account was also listed as a “special contributors” in Line Corp.’s acclaimed 2016 bug-hunters’ hall of fame.
He is apparently a minor celebrity in the country and has even appeared on talk shows. He’s thought to be around 24 (based on past interviews) and looks set to topple Zuckerberg’s empire from beneath the 34-year-old.
Chang Chi-yuan is a self-confessed bug bounty-hunter, and even if Facebook steps up its security around Zuckerberg’s account — which it definitely will — we shouldn’t take this threat lightly.
It hasn’t been a good year for the Facebook CEO after he got well and truly spanked by the US Senate for Facebook’s shady dealings. Just when it looks like things couldn’t get any worse, having your own account from your own site disappear before your eyes is even more of a kick in the nuts.
Looks like it ‘Zucks’ to be Zuckerberg right now, but rest assured, we’ll all be tuning in on Sunday.
