Facebook bug hunter stumbles on backdoor left by another bug hunter

Taiwanese researcher Orange Tsai thought he had stumbled on some malicious activity in Facebook’s network. But, according to a statement from Facebook on Friday, what he found was something else. Tsai used the vulnerabilities to gain access to Facebook’s corporate server and gather information from its logs.

Facebook had a different explanation for what Tsai discovered on its servers; it said the “hackers” Tsai had detected was actually another researcher.”]
