Nir Goldshlager found a serious security breach in the social media network — and then found a hole in the ostensibly repaired code, too
Nir Goldshlager, a “white hat” hacker who has tested computer security systems for some of the biggest companies in the world, is once again a hero. For the second year running, Goldshlager is the No. 1 name in Facebook’s security “hall of fame,” featured on a page thanking hackers “for making a responsible disclosure to us, on behalf of over a billion users.” Goldshlager also appeared on the list in 2011, in second place.
