New York: A “white hat” hacker, has claimed that Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg will be deleting his Facebook page tomorrow, and has promised to live stream the entire event.

Chang Chi-yuan, an ethical hacker with around 26,000 followers on his Facebook page, will be live-streaming the alleged event on Facebook live, as reported by Bloomberg. The live stream is set to begin at 3.30 pm IST… provided the broadcast isn’t blocked by Facebook.

Chang is a well-known hacker in Taiwan and has made some money from Facebook’s bug bounty programme, an ongoing programme where Facebook rewards experts for pointing out weaknesses and bugs in its system. While there doesn’t seem to be a clear motive behind why Chang wants to hack into the Facebook founder’s page, the report has caused some to worry as Chang was reportedly sued once for hacking into a bus operator’s system to buy a ticket for one Taiwanese Dollar.

Back in 2011, Zuckerberg’s page was hacked by another individual who used it to encourage the users to invest in Facebook and turn it into a “social business”.
