Massive Facebook Hack Hits Mark Zuckerberg Too
A Facebook security breach confirmed on Friday may have left nearly 50-million users vulnerable. Included in that number? Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg and the company's European Vice President, Nicola Mendelsohn.
As for how they did it, the hackers were apparently able to exploit a vulnerability in Facebook's system allowing them to access log in information and control accounts. More specifically they compromised digital keys that people use to stay logged in on their devices, instead of having to regularly sign back in.
Facebook has since reset the log-ins for a total of 90-million accounts for extra caution. Zuckerberg has responded to the hack by saying, in part, "This is a really serious security issue, and we're taking it seriously."

A Lot Of People Find Ways To Nap At Work
We all know work can be exhausting, and somewhere around 3 pm the yawning starts to hit, and most folks could probably use a nap. Well, it turns out, a lot of people are finding ways to get a little shuteye in at the office.
A new poll by The Sleep Judge looked into workplace napping, and while you’d think most companies would frown on it, there seems to be some jobs that are perfectly okay with folks taking a rest in the middle of the day.
The poll finds that 93.2% of workers whose company allows for napping have taken a nap at work, while 46.3% of those whose company doesn’t allow napping have also found a way to take a little siesta during the day. And it seems companies should maybe consider napping a good thing, with 56.2% of workers saying naps increase their productivity.
As for the industries most likely to allow napping, they include:
- Arts, Entertainment & Recreation
- Construction
- Marketing
- Information Services & Data Processing
- Technology
Interestingly, even though these industries are the most likely to allow napping, they aren’t the industries where most napping occurs. In fact, the five industries with the highest napping rates, are also the Top Five industries that ban napping. The industries with the highest napping rates include:
- Transportation and Warehousing
- Finance and Insurance
- Medical and Health Care
- Education
- Hotel, Food Services and Hospitality (although they are the second-most likely to ban napping)

Luckily, a surveillance video identified him as the suspect waffle mix thief, and he was arrested later that day for burglary.
Sex Doll In Garbage Is Mistaken For Human Remains - It’s probably a good idea to deflate a sex doll before throwing it away.
That’s why a sex doll in a garbage bag is to blame for a large police presence in Ohio. Police in Colerain say they were called out to Richardson Forest Preserve last Thursday after reports of remains being found, but the body was not a human.
Pictures posted online appear to show the female sex doll, which was in a bag and life-size. It took a bit of time for them to reach the doll as it was in a difficult part of the area on a hillside but it's not clear where it came from. The preserve is in an area not far from Cincinnati.
At least police got to have fun with the story online!
