Khalil Shriteh: I am a white hat hacker and I do not exploit loopholes for financial benefit
Khalil Shreiteh, a Palestinian who specializes in information security and hacker, recounts in his interview with Financial Freedom Today the details of the Facebook hack in 2013, and how Mark Zuckerberg reacted at the time.
What was your first hack?
When I was at the beginning of learning hacking and information security, the means of learning were scarce. YouTube was in its infancy, Google and Facebook as well, so it depended more on personal diligence than resorting to educational resources. Today there are hundreds and thousands of specialists in the field of information security.

The beginning was with a Palestinian website, as I noticed that it contains a small loophole, but it allows the site to be taken over completely, so I contacted the site’s administrators, offering them help, and unfortunately their response was only one line: “This issue will expose you to legal accountability.” , and at that time I decided to stop checking sites like this.
What drew you to the field of information security and hacking?
I loved this field, and saw my hobby in it, and when a hobby and a profession come together in one place, a person creates without limits. I started learning hacking in my teens, and today I have 22 years of experience in this field, and as I mentioned earlier that the means of learning hacking before were very scarce, so it took years until I was able to master the profession of hacking, because the subject mainly depends on effort and personal learning. .
