It was "a Bug," Facebook blame a bug for an odd posting in Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg. The message led to speculation that the site had been hacked or Mr Zuckerberg's account was compromised.
Initially Facebook would not comment but they issued a statement: "A bug enabled status postings by unauthorised people on a handful of pages, The bug has been fixed."
The anonymous Facebook post attracted nearly 2,000 comments before it was taken down, but not before technology blog TechCrunch knew it.
The page, which has nearly three million fans, has also been moved to a new address, according to researcher Graham Cluley of security firm Sophos.
And today! Facebook has just released 2 new tools aimed at shoring up user's accounts against tools like FireSheep, by allowing people to always connect via a secure connection.
Mr Zuckerberg's private account appears not to have been affected.
