Facebook hacker finds another intruder beat him to the punch
A security researcher looking for flaws in Facebook's internal network has found traces of another intruder who got into the system first.
The hacker, or hackers, had access to Facebook's internal system for several months, giving them access to hundreds of employee usernames and passwords, explained researcher Orange Tsai in a blog post published last week.
Having found his way into the vulnerable server, Tsai found scripts setup by another hacker designed to scoop up login details of employees. Facebook awarded Taiwanese Tsai $10,000 for discovering and reporting the flaw back in February and asked him to hold off publishing details of the hack until it could be patched.
