Ok hold up. There is a BIG difference between TARGETED attacks like the one described and security holes. A targeted attack like the one described will work on ANY system PERIOD. Hell he may as well have had his bank accounted hacked and complained to citi/chase/ing/etc. The point is such hacks are bogus when it comes to "hacking facebook."
However such things are still useful since HE will be targeted if people really want to hack FB. So then vuala they found a employee who is a vulnerability and thus will try to close that hole.
I am more interested in hacking facebook from a pure-user perspective. Getting information from a random user. See how far it can be taken. That is more interesting. Saying that "if someone waiting to get hacked got hacked, then a random joe will definately get hacked" is bogus. This sort of targeted attack will get through most secure networks period.
