Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg's fan page was hacked Tuesday -- a high-profile breach on a site that constantly faces scrutiny about its handling of its members private data.
The message that appeared on Zuckerberg's page under his name read: "Let the hacking begin: If facebook needs money, instead of going to the banks, why doesn't Facebook let its users invest in Facebook in a social way? Why not transform Facebook into a 'social business' the way Nobel Price winner Muhammad Yunus described it? http://bit.ly/fs6rT3 What do you think? #hackercup2011"
The message received a flurry of more than 1,800 "likes" before it was removed from the page. Facebook's representatives have not returned calls seeking comment.
Zuckerberg wasn't the only famous figure to have his Facebook page hacked this week. A hacker posted a message on French President Nicolas Sarkozy's wall on Sunday that stated the president would not run for re-election.
Sarkozy responded with a post saying no "qu'aucun système n'est infaillible" -- which translates to 'no system is infallible.'
