Did Facebook boss hack reporters’ emails?
p2pnet view P2P | Advertising:- It appears charges that Mark Zuckerberg, founder of social advertising site Fa$ebook, hacked the email accounts of two journalists may be accurate.
A two-year Business Insider investigation into the origins of Facebook alleges Zuckerberg “used inside information taken from an early version of Facebook to access emails between student journalists”, says news.com.au, going on:
“The incident was alleged to occur after the Harvard Crimson planned to write a story about rival social media website ConnectU in 2004. The accusation came from an anonymous source and the journalists involved did not comment.”
However, instead of issuing a flat, unequivocal denial, “We’re not going to debate the disgruntled litigants and anonymous sources who seek to rewrite Facebook’s early history or embarrass Mark Zuckerberg with dated allegations,” it says, according to the story.
“The unquestioned fact is that since leaving Harvard for Silicon Valley nearly six years ago, Mark has led Facebook’s growth from a college website to a global service playing an important role in the lives of over 400 million people”, the statement adds …
… which of course has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not Zuckerberg broke into the accounts.
The two journalists concerned are keeping silent, says news.com.au.
