Not exactly the world's most exciting or difficult hack. But that makes it kind of interesting in a way - how many companies out there are still pretty lousy at the basics, like not having externally-accessible services with no authentication?

Maybe it would be a good idea to set up automated periodic external scans of your network to check for any unexpected accessible services. Don't know if anybody's doing that already, though.

First paragraph: "Ok, ok. I didn't quite 'hack Facebook'. What I did was execute OS level commands on one of Facebook's acquisition's servers."

Seriously?!

So annoying. Click baits are literally ruining the browsing experience.

Suddenly, Facebook gets nmapped 5k times/second from all around the world...
